Ian's album title is certainly a bold declaration, and one listen to the delicate swoon of the lullaby-like track that bears its name will convince listeners that its also an invitation. Ian's latest studio album is full of warmth, waltz, and his patented soaring chorus. Ian has fashioned an album of 11 distinct sounding songs that somehow seem like they were always destined to exist on the same slab of plastic together. From the hyper-nostalgic pop hooks of "Memorial Day Parade" to the quiet hush of "Small Town, Big Hearts," "This Is The Sound" indeed sounds like little else out there. It's full of Ian's signature piano sounds, not to mention lush organs, quirky synths, chiming guitars, and glockenspiel.
