Lifted is pretty cool. The first song, The Big Picture sounds a lot like Daniel Johnston in terms of rhythm and the mood but the lyrics are much more eloquent than anything Dan could've written.

I love the line "And don't go blaming your knowledge on...Some. fruit. you. ate!"

Hahaha, I read that line with every intention of reading something deep.

It does seem like he pulls a lot of inspiration from Johnston, but trying to compare their lyrical ability would be arbitrary.
