Title: Subtle, delectable charms.
Product review: This is the very first Candy Butchers album I've ever listened to, and for the first few listens I thought it was slight, white, and plain.Then the charm of the lyrics, about romantic wins and losses and masturbation and addiction and detox and mental and physical anguish and Kiss Alive 2 and Bennie & the Jets, poured sweetly through the infectious pop music, based in 70s pop piano style I in no way jones for.But it works, here. This album actually changes my mood, my feelings, gives me hope about being a screw up, makes me love my friends more, makes me want to play it over and over again.People constantly use the "Angry Young Man" school comparisons, a subgenre I adore but avoid of late due to the pretensions of its originators, but this album is in a class all by itself. It's not angry, it's reaching for grace and acceptance, but there had to be a whole lot of pain experienced to make music this lifting.
