Title: If not for the voice
Review: There's one thing that frustrates me more than anything when it comes to music (no, not being able to play guitar like Angus Young), that is when a really great band/record is let down by the vocals. It happens far too often if you ask me. And this is another example. The music on this record is great! Lovely arrangements of horns and piano's in a catchy 70s piano-pop sense, but Utrillo Kushner's voice is just weak, straining, and to be honest, quite out of tune at times. I'd love to hear someone Jim O'Rourke or Jeff Tweedy sing over these tunes. Now THAT would be a good record.
Is the review positive or negative?
