I like this record. I think the afro-pop thing is a little over-stated.
But it's a good, solid indie-pop record. Doesn't break any new
ground, but it's fun.
And if anyone can actually rhyme something with "Oxford Comma,"
that's gotta count for something.
I don't hear The Police. But I do hear early Talking Heads.
