Opener \"A Place for You\" is a rumpled, upbeat, almost solely acoustic jam, featuring Tuttle's winding, sinewy guitar rambles and vocals like well-worn corduroy. Title-track \"It Calls On Me\" is a tightly-wound propulsive rocker, recalling his debut's slightly unhinged urgency with a pliant, rubbery, Richard Thompson-esque guitar solo that branches out like plant-growth. \"Make Good Time\" is a gorgeous, intimately-crafted gem that gently shimmers with Byrdsian 12-string against pastoral vocal harmonies and hazy, mellotron strings and flute.Other key tracks include \"Painted Eye,\" an epic, disorienting stunner that recalls the blurry stupor of '70s West Coast soft rock with a guitar solo needling amidst queasy, bent strings, and \"Falling to Believe,\" a catchy ear-worm that pairs Tuttle's soft, hushed vocals with some seriously heat-blistered guitar-work. Most reminiscent of his most trance-inducing work with MMOSS, \"On Your Way\" is an eerie, stately, almost trad-folk dirge that carries all the pageantry of Fairport Convention, backed by brittle, Fables of the Reconstruction-era R.E.M. guitar jangle amongst a tightly-woven tapestry of voices. \"It Calls On Me\" shows Tuttle relaxing into his role as a memorable, compelling songwriter, eager to showcase his storehouse of harmonies and dissonances, and delighting in the more fragile and intimate aspects of frayed-at-the-edges songcreation. As a result, this record feels more like a blissful letting go rather than a giving in, allowing the flashing sunlight to create patterns across your closed eyelids as you drive a winding road through a forest of trees.

His 2013 solo debut (after fronting his longtime psychedelic band, MMOSS) was an insular and foggy psychedelic masterpiece punctuated by Tuttle’s stinging guitar leads, accented by flashes of bedroom Fairport \/ Crazy Horse brilliance, towing the line nibly between elegance and ragged assurance. \u003ci\u003ePeace Potato\u003c\/i\u003e introduces itself with the horn-laden, honeydripper, \u003ci\u003eBait The Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, a classic Tuttle tune; downer pop melodies colouring a hypnagogic landscape. It is indeed that state of lucid dreaming, somewhere between the onset of sleep is where Tuttle firmly plants the seeds of \u003ci\u003ePeace Potato\u003c\/i\u003e. Songs like the addictive Harrison-esque acoustic strummer \u003ci\u003eCan It Be\u003c\/i\u003e and majestic \u003ci\u003eOnly In A Dream\u003c\/i\u003e kick in and fade out like the lurching of the mind’s dream state, with the listener ’s only guide being Tuttle’s fragmented sensory narrative.
