Title: Bought into the hype...
Review: ...and regretted it. I can't remember the last time I bought a CD on spec that has pleased me less. Musically it nods to Luna and to Belle and Sebastian, but, unlike those paragons, it's utterly unmemorable melodically. Yes, there is a "Philly Soul" sound to it, but it's hard to imagine how a CD could in fact be less soulful: it's a cluttered, muddled, over-produced, over-orchestrated mess that dips into several genres without remotely succeeding in any one of them. On top of that, the singer is dreadful--if the toneless growl of his normal singing voice doesn't annoy you, the breathless, squeaky, off-key falsetto that he adopts for several tracks is sure to.The overall impression is of mid-tempo string-laden Alterna-Muzak, elevator-music for the pierced-eyebrow set. Mind-numbingly dull, resolutely banal. You've been warned.
