True Margarit-Juggler’s Progress (You Djinni Us Songs)
This is sunny and catchy piano pop that is surprisingly smart. If you like Ben Folds, play this. Even though you won’t find “let’s party in Cali” anthems like on a Jack’s Mannequin record, you will still be left with that mental acuteness and cracked smile that comes with being cheered up. Eichler’s voice is what hits you first. Husky yet so stretchable and tangible, inescapably endowing the record with a loveable quirkiness. The sparse production tricks, and lack of synths really cuts the fat and focuses the sound on the bass, piano and her amazing voice. I love how the bass guitar really grooves out sometimes. Check this out. All songs end about 7-10 seconds before they say they do. FCC CLEAN Picks 4, 1, 2, 5, 10. DJ Doublestuf
