I love you, Glenn Gamboa. Because you wrote a review of my EP in Newsday magazine, which, according to Wikipedia, has a daily circulation of 377,000. That is amazing.

I’ll include the whole review here, because it’s short:

Glenn Gamboa | DROPS

Newcomer Tommy Wallach clearly idolizes the gorgeous, clever piano-pop of Rufus Wainwright. The inspiration runs throughout his debut EP, “Tommy Wallach” (Decca) – in his meticulous songwriting, his charming delivery, even his subject matter, tackling aching songs of unrequited love (“Elodie”), drunken hookups (the New Orleans-tinged “Drunk”) and, well, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.”

It’s actually in his cover of the Paul Simon classic that Wallach, a McSweeney’s writer as well as a singer-songwriter, shows off his range, beatboxing the percussion with a bit of hip-hop swagger amid the swell of strings.
