English singer-songwriter noted for a dark, melancholic acoustic style. Debut album self-titled (2000) praised for piano-voice and guitar-voice songs; followed by Just Like Blood (2003).

Debut album released in 2000; compared in reviews to Nick Drake for melancholic atmospheres; performed as an opening act for Paul Weller; Just Like Blood released in 2003.

DeBaser hosts two reviews of Tom McRae focusing on his 2000 self-titled debut and 2003's Just Like Blood. Critics highlight dark, melancholic acoustic songs, piano-voice and guitar-voice arrangements, and comparisons to Nick Drake. The debut is praised as a small gem; Just Like Blood is noted as more produced but less spontaneous.

For:Fans of melancholic singer-songwriter and acoustic folk music; listeners who appreciate introspective piano-voice or guitar-voice arrangements.

 An album from 2000 that, at the time of its release, was categorized as part of the New Acoustic Movement alongside the debuts of Turin Brakes, Kings of Convenience, Ed Harcourt, etc., due to a return to acoustic in the style of the great folk-singers of the 60s and 70s, and in particular the dark-melancholic atmospheres that found their undisputed master in the great Nick Drake.
