Highly articulate, clever, romantic or bruised-romantic or bruised-by-the-deity Britpop in the tradition of Heavenly, the Smiths, and Belle & Sebastian, even if recorded in New Jersey. With just a bit more upbeat guitar-rock energy than those bands, and a fun lyrical hint of Dan Bern’s manic pop-culture allusiveness.
