Title: Fun and Addictive
Product review: Here's a band that has synthesized a unique pop formula, sweet, offbeat, occasionally transcendent. The best songs, such as the shimmering Sir Shaheen, mysterious Please Mr. B. and Howl A Little, have a serpentine shape; writer Ben Escher keeps leading us to bends where there's a musical surprise around the corner. The faster songs are more derivative, wearing XTC and the Talking Heads on their sleeves, but still fun and catchy. Many of these songs stayed in my head for weeks.
