That Sound We Make

BY Skip ViitalaPublished Oct 1, 1999

After the promise of their debut and the disappointment of their second, the third CD by this energetic quartet is hands down their best yet! "Suburbia" is just one of the many well-orchestrated, hip-hoppity, memorable pop ditties that fill this disc. The exceptions are "Commodore" and "Kiss and Laugh." Both are slower and sweeter but quite hummable tunes. Many songs aren’t lyrically interesting though, they like to keep the topics simple and happy but the words are very rhythmic. The predominance of the piano in their sound immediately invokes comparisons to the likes of Ben Folds Five and anyone who likes them should get into this.
