    I really like the way that Bahamas (Afie Jurvanen) sings, plays, and writes music. His 3rd album really shines, picking up where Barchords left off in 2012 and adding a level of complexity and artistry to the composition of the songs that makes them great to listen to because of its muted genius. It's hard to find a throwaway track on the whole album.

    It's hard to imagine Jurvanen can outpace his boss, but he's doing just fine. [Oct 2014, p.103]

    Bahamas Is Afie is an album that draws very specific parameters for itself and makes a point of staying well inside them. Bahamas never over-plays or over-shares, hence the resulting album is one that rewards repeated listens.

    Bahamas Is Afie contains some of Jurvanen's best work to date, standing up there next to 2012's Barchords high benchmark "Lost In The Light."
