The Anderson Council

The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon

Jem Records

The new album from this long-running band is very good music for adults--that is, mature and grounded, where one is past dating, married, and, as their song says, “Buying A House.”

But if you are dating, then it’s “Alone With You,” the fun initial single from the album, in which the singer wants to be alone with his girlfriend.

The music is guitar-based rock/power pop, played just the way I like it--noisy, crunchy, melodic, and not sedate. The band calls it psychpowerpop. This is who plays what: Peter Horvath on vocals and guitar, Simon Burke on bass, Michael Potenza on guitar, and Scott Jones on drums.

So if you want some good, interesting rock, and something different, this is the band to get into. You’ll be glad you did.
