HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Read my CRANK review at Metro Times.
It's not garnered a lot of momentum, but this is a fine pop record somewhat in the vein of MGMT's Congratulations with touches of the Shins and (why not?) the Beatles, and generally very strong songwriting and full-bodied singing. I don't know if it's anything truly great and artistically significant, but I get more pure joy out of it ("Turn on the Sunshine" and "Bricks to the Bones" give me a profound singing-in-the-car urge) than I have from most new music I've heard this year. Hideous album cover, though; I've taken to hiding the LP behind a bunch of others.
