Spyderpop/Big Stir Records

This delightful album owes as much to the 70s as it does to the 90s: everything from the Beatles to Jellyfish to Aimee Mann. It's very creative, experimental pop--lush and plush, but always tough, as well. There is a lot of steel in the spine of these songs.

The lyrics are positive and happy, with the exception of “How She Lost My Heart,” a breakup song, and are clear and direct, set to nicely complicated, wonderful music. It makes the album delightful to listen to.
