This guy is amazing. I saw his show before the Tori Amos concert in Pittsburgh and I was blown away. His set was far too short! Adore Adore has become one of my favorite songs, I just love it. I wish there were more songs on the EP, though, I could listen to him for hours. I can't really say what to compare this music to. I hate to make comparisons, but his live show is a lot like Howie Day's the way he creates his loops live and incorporates them into the songs. I've heard complaints about his tendency to sing above his "normal" vocal range, but I think he pulls it off incredibly well. He says it himself, his sound is like Beck meets Buckley meets Bjork and I love it.

Yoav is amazing! I saw him open 5 times for Tori Amos and each time he blew me away! I had the pleasure of meeting him in Oakland and he signed the EP for me. At one of the Oakland shows he explained that the inspiration for the first song on the ep, "Adore,Adore" was he watched a video music awards and realized that a lot of people are in the music business for the wrong reasons, and this song was his response. "Beautiful Lie," the single, is an awesome song, and I've heard him sing it 5 times live and each time it blew me away, he's such a good singer and he's so innovative the way he makes the loops on stage for the backing vocals and percussion, all with his guitar!!!
"One by One" is more of a slow balad type song and shows his versatility, whereas "There is Nobody" is a fast-paced song with a beat that will be in your head all day.

I cannot recommend this disc enough. Yoav is amazing, raw talent and he will go far.

This guy is amazing- great singing, great guitar playing, totally innovative and original. "Adore Adore" is an incredible song... the beginning gives me chills everytime. The live songs are great too... you can see that his voice sounds even a little bit better live.

Buy this EP... you will adore, adore it!!!

I'm going to a lot of Tori Amos shows this year so I've had the pleasure of seeing Yoav live 7 times so far! He's pure genius! He really can't be compared to anyone. His sound is so unique and beautiful! I have this EP and I play it over and over! My only complaint is that it's too short!
On a side note, I was lucky enough to meet Yoav and talk to him for a bit in Charlotte and Atlanta. He's a very friendly, intelligent, funny guy!
I predict wonderful things for him! He's nothing short of amazing! :)

Saw him as the opening act for Tori Amos and I hvae to say he has a unique and interesitng style. Acoustic electronica and a beuatiful ranged voice. Looking forward to the full album.

i was first turned on to Yoav at the Tori Amos concert in Houston,TX. he is amazing. completely by himself with a sampler and a guitar he put on a terrific show almost outshining the headliner Tori. i totally recommend this CD.

I've had the pleasure to see Yoav as the opener for the Tori Amos concert in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago. I couldn't understand his name even though he said it a few times. After the concert I found him mentioned on the internet and I just had to get his music.

Very refreshing and new. The way he plays the guitar is very interesting. Reminded me of the movie "August Rush" and the kid in there.

Too bad I've got to wait till the end of January for the album.

I saw Yoav open for Tori Amos in Nashville. He is an amazing artist. His music and voice gave me chills.
