what I've heard of it anyway). I liked the last one enough, but the four
songs I've heard from this new one (three from the free EP available with
puchases at Not Lame, and one from the most recent IPO comp) all blow it all
away. They seem to have found how to hone their sound and be a bit more
direct, and in the process have really produced some power-pop nuggets.
"Department Store Girl" is your typical uptempo, almost FOW-like
power-popper, but I think the real gem is "Birds of a Feather" which sounds
like a strange Sesame Street-goes-saccharine Merseybeat love song. In short
it's so cute and happy that it's irresistible.

whole is this good! --Jason
Yeah, the album definitely is that good. I've only heard it recently and
haven't had a chance to absorb it all, but based upon first listen it's
definitely a winner. Nothing particularly inventive, but it's all done with
skill and panache, as is the Rosenberg's wont.
The album should be released in the next month or so, on Force MP Records.
