Really well done, straightforward rock n roll led by the Dream Syndicate's frontman. Draws in a lot of Paisley Underground and classic psychedelic rock, but also Tom Petty (especially in the vox). RIYL anything the Wynn/Buck/McCaughey/Hitchcock camp has been up to lately, i.e. R.E.M., Baseball Project, Minus 5, Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3; also newer Meat Puppets.
All tracks are good. FCC on 2. –Andy

**1 - quiet start; paced, driving guitar rock, loudly dissonant finish
*2 - FCC "shit"; uptempo and rockin, with spoken-sung vox
3 - minor key power pop (R.E.M.) with well placed strings; murky sound on verse, crisp on chorus
4 - drowned Dylan vox over late-night electric piano groove; cool weird guitar solo
*5 - determined midtempo with new-era R.E.M. instrumentation
*6 - slow, sad, smoky, simple
*7 - nice feel-good jangle-pop
8 - expansive minor-key power-pop, more production cheese than most
*9 - Barlow-esque pop ballad over e. piano, clean guitar
10 - big, fast guitar-rock; no vox until halfway through
*11 - almost Pavement-y fun pop, more talky vox
