Californian multi-instrumentalist Dale Turner independently released his 42 minute album “Mannerisms Magnified” in 2010. The songs are technically brilliant and when you consider that all of the vocals and instruments were performed by Dale himself, you have to step back and re-evaluate what you think of this material. I’m not surprised it took him four [...]
