Title: Looks Like I Love It
Review: Wow wow wow. It just keeps getting better. I discovered the band School for the Dead through my love of Fountains of Wayne. Now, the mastermind behind School for the Dead, Henning Ohlenbusch, has gone and made an album all on his own. And it is beautiful.If you love the well-thought out melodic and moving sounds of people like The Shins, Paul Simon, Harry Nilsson, Sufjan Stevens, Sam Phillips, Aimee Mann, or Elliot Smith, I can't see how you wouldn't embrace this record.There isn't a filler track on this album, from the upbeat and quirky "But We Did" to the smooth and moving "Held His Gaze" to the atmospheric "Center of Time" to the heartbreaking swell of interlacing melodies in "It's Now".This is an album in the true sense of the word. It's not a collection of singles, it's a well-thought-out presentation of wonderfully written music. We need more of these.
