Sacha Talens - Music that will grow on you

Let's start by being honest here. The first time I heard a Sacha Talens song it didn't really hit my musical sweet spot. However, a while later I decided to give his songs another listen. And WHAM! It hit me bang in the center of my sweet spot.
Sacha Talens' music is the kind that won't grasp your ear buds instantly. But it grows. Steady, smooth and nice, it grows on you and at the end of it you thank the heavens that you gave this man another listen. His music is not something that is usual. It isn't something that will make you go "Ahh yes! Typical singer-songwriter". There is this unexplained rawness in his music and his voice. There are always things in the world you look/hear/feel and you never know why those things are so beautiful. Sacha Talens' music is one of those things. You hear his music and somehow it has the ability to make you feel at ease. His songs have a bit of a bumpy quirkiness, some nice grooves, really well-written lyrics, beautiful chord patterns and a voice that is probably the perfect lining around the song. It is like eating a delicious pie blindfolded. His first album, The Bathurst Moment, is releasing on 14th January, 2013. You can check out his songs on his website.
Here is a video of his song Fish Tank Blues:
