Terrific stuff. Unmistakably Quasi in flavour with hints of Babybird - but also, instrumentally, like listening to a Beach Boys 45 played at 33 (while taking Mogadon!). It’s not ‘sing-along’ stuff and yet it’s highly listenable - such as ‘From a park bench at the edge of the abyss’ where Sam reminds us that: “...Love is not a chore - it’s not a job...”. Dark and amusing in equal measure. This album is most certainly not a chore! Get it while you can.
