(Fat Possum)
RECOMMENDED
Read my review at Metro Times.
Additional point: Light as the breeze and equally enjoyable, even invigorating, when it's playing, this album has absolutely no presence once it's done. It is readymade for early spring listening, though, so keep it around at least till early May; I doubt it will have much staying power beyond that. Also, Amber pointed out while we were listening to it again this week that the guitar playing and rhythmic ease is akin to the doo wop / Sun Records / Van Morrison sound the Walkmen have adopted on their last couple of albums; this also goes back to the skewered classicist '50s texture in Television's "Prove It"... which just goes to show, you can make anything lightweight and bubbly if you try hard enough.
