Throughout his career, Bart Davenport has been many things: a garage rocker with the Loved Ones, a smooth modern soul crooner with Honeycut, and a solo artist with a track record full of sonic left turns ('70s soul, dance music, bossa nova, psych pop) that makes following his career consistently surprising. His early solo records, like 2003's Game Preserve, often dug deeply into soft rock tropes, enlivening them with his honeyed lead vocals and the care put into the construction of the songs. Later efforts, like 2018's Blue Motel (which was recorded under the name Bart & the Bedazzled), added '80s pop sophistication to the template. By the time he entered his third decade making music it was still hard to predict what a Bart Davenport album might sound like, as 2022's folk/rock-inspired, 12-string heavy Episodes showed.
