18-year-old Max Gowan is like the Raleigh, North Carolina equivalent of Australia’s Bored Nothing; both make intimate, Elliott Smith-esque bedroom guitar pop, but less depressing. I almost deleted Gowan’s email asking me to check out his latest album, Big People, before even reading it, let alone checking out his stuff. But I’m glad I decided to give the kid a chance. As soon as I heard those clocking guitars that open “Snow”, I thought, “yeah, this is legit.”
