Boy Genius - “Staggering” - Bin It

text: Daniel Couch

If Ralph Waldo Emerson was correct in observing that “genius realizes and adds,” then boy genius do not deserve their moniker, even in an ironic lowercase. The reed-thin vocals and jangly guitars frolic irrepressibly in another era (think Reality Bites rather than Singles) without contributing anything new to today’s canon. 

Reminds us of: furry, happy monsters laughing | one of those bands that Tanya Donnelly was in | late night infomercials

boy genius: (Label / Myspace)

release date is January 26, 2010

Previous (The Lower 48 - "Everywhere to Go" - Buy It) Next (Dan Auerbach - “Keep It Hid” - Borrow It)

Kelli Shaefer’s songs get stuck in my head non-stop. Every other day I find myself waking up with one in there. And that’s a good thing, she’s a talent!

nice pics Chris. Don’t you love it when the artist brings some cool light. It’s a bunch of low hanging fruit after that.
