Blue Lights gets out of the gate strong, and it never lets up throughout. The Charlie Brown pianos and late 1970s-style harmonizing are the perfect complement to the cunning lyrics. Half of the album is charming and fun. The other half will thrive as background music for dramatic TV.
Album released on March 3, 2009. Preorder it on Amazon
Reminds us of: Snow Patrol, Elliott Smith, Aqualung, Beulah

This comment stream is so meta. Great review Kelly.

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.

WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “WHO WROTE THIS...PUKE ! “Picture yourself coasting your bike past space funk palm trees, homeless harpists, vintage video arcades, electronic drum circles, and 60s psychedelic singers who’re waiting for the bus. Cosmogramma is kinda like that if someone suddenly tripped you just as you’re starting to enjoy the ride. But in a good way.””
