This is supercharged Shearwater, with everything we love about this band, from the heavy Bowie pop influence to the quiet Talk Talk moments. A contemporary classic. So underrated!
The quintessential DeVotchKa album. We'll follow them wherever they go, yet...once upon a time, before they were big, they played a gig in the loft apartment we had just moved out of and we didn't go.
Speaking of underrated! The best album almost no one beyond Norman, Oklahoma, has heard. Sheer genius songwriting, playing, and production. Great live band, as well, for a duo. A lost classic.
