A major arrival on the indie power pop scene - listen up and begin the smiling. Litman writes songs with infectious melodies, unique harmonies, rich arrangements, and deeply affecting lyrics and the power pop world is already a buzz - Here is what (the new-ish and truly fab) Dr. Bristol`s Prescription blog had to say:"When you hear that a classically trained guitar player from a music school is making a pop album, your expectations are probably like mine. But as skilled a guitarist as Jeff Litman might be, Postscript rarely features his playing as the focal point. It is Litman`sskills as a songwriter, vocalist and arranger that are highlighted, and wisely so. Frankly, this debut offering floored me. Litman has an immediately likable voice, and proves throughout the album that he is as dynamic a singer on broad choruses as he is on more stripped-down and nakedly exposed vocals like "t Wasn`t Me"; he IS able to jump around the scales effortlessly and comfortably. "Anna" and "Complicate"make a very strong 1-2 punch to open the album, both songs about being with the wrong person at the wrong time. But Litman can just as easily bury a bitter shot within a bright melody ("Everything You`RE Not" as he can pine away on a beautiful ballad (e.g. "Wife" and the title track). And the seamless harmonies between Litman and Kelly Jones on" Maine" couldn`T be tighter if they were conjoined twins; the country-ish track chugs along like a perkier version of "Winter Valley Song" by Fountains of Wayne.Other sound-alike touch points? First and foremost Mike Viola, and I mean that as a strong compliment; Viola is one of the best in the business. I also thought of contemporaries like Frank Bango and Jim Boggia as well as the more well-known predecessors McCartney, Squeeze and (more as solo artists than as a band) Jellyfish. These artists, like Litman, feature more complex arrangements than what I would consider everyday power pop music, yet are much more vibrant than the definition that `singer-songwriter` tends to conjure up. Postscript is brimming with great songs and is certain to make my Best-of-2009 list at year`s end"
Power Pop A Holic gave it a rare `10` out of `10` - here is what they had to say: "The opener "Anna" starts the song cycle with upbeat pop bounce, much like Chris Von Sneidern or Jim Boggia - A powerful statement and a highly personal work absolutely deserves "top ten" of 2009 consideration." Absolute Power Pop Blog has its own strong say: "Litman has crafted an excellent singer/songwriter debut that fans of smart power poppers like Jon Brion, solo Rhett Miller and (perhaps most of all) Jim Boggia should be all over. Litman demonstrates his chops right away with the bouncy "Anna". Vocally, he resembles Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies, and one could be forgiven for mistaking "Anna" as a lost BnL track. The piano-driven "Complicate" is another winner and the jangly midtempo pop gem "Everything You`re Not" brings to mind Nick Pipitone, both solo and with The Rip Off Artists. These three tracks would be good enough to anchor most discs, but there`s more to be had. The rocking yet charming "Detroit Layover" and "Knock Me Down" are where the solo Rhett Miller comparisons come in, and the sweet pop of "Open Arms" (not a Journey cover) recalls The Goldbergs. Without a doubt this is the best singer/songwriter debut I`ve come across in many months, and 2009 has another early best-of contender." A finer debut you will not hear this year - or any other year.
