Associated with the US garage scene; influences cited include Todd Rundgren, Syd Barrett, Robyn Hitchcock, Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston and Stephen Malkmus. The reviewed solo album was released on Drag City.

The available review praises Mike Donovan's solo album How To Get Your Record Played in Shops as a strong garage pop-psychedelia record that renews his career after Sic Alps and Peacers. The critic highlights Donovan's songwriting, lo-fi sensibility and clear influences from Syd Barrett, Todd Rundgren and others.

For:Fans of garage rock, psychedelic pop, lo-fi and indie singer-songwriters.

 I was anticipating this album with a certain curiosity (as with every Drag City release) and I must say that this time, unlike, for example, "Hippo Lite" by Drinks (Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley), my expectations were not disappointed.
