If, like us, you like your folk on the maudlin side of existential inquiry, then this EP should serve many an evening of melodic introspection. New York Sessions deals in simple, beautiful and declarative songs, stripped of artifice; such as 'Stay The Night', which is accompanied by a violin that lends itself to the track's minimalism.
In 'Fabulous People', Flynn considers the artificial construct of the world of the glitterati, and the isolation felt from without. This, and more highly-wrought vignettes of the emotional entanglements of which he tries to make sense.
