"Album of the week" - "Taking on a pretty broad subject, Ohio-born, New York-based multi-instrumentalist Joshua Karpeh - aka Cautious Clay - returns with Deadpan Love, and he's diving into the human condition of emotion and the tough exterior we all use to get through the hardest times in life. It's a tough topic to breach, and Karpeh approaches it with style, dignity, and grace. Taking influence from classic R&B through gospel and jazz, the album forms as a performance piece".
