2006 release from Chicago`s Leave, whose "Don`t Go" was a favorite for fans of rootsy-styled power pop. "I`d Rather Not Say" delivers on the promise of "Don`t Go" and catapults them upwards with a stronger set of songs, higher production values and a keener sense of tight harmonies and driving rhythms. Fans of Gin Blossoms, Marah, Van Go and Minibar will want to check this one out for sure. Insistent jangle hooks, airy choruses and large doses of great thumping rhythm guitars ascend/decend all wrapped inside of memorable songs. Delivered with class and vibrancy, their sense of melody is augmented by sweetly buzzing guitar jangle and intertwined harmonies. Filled with poignant lyrics, wistful harmonies and a earthy attitude, I`d Rather Not Say deftly balances shimmering lighter moments with sharp-edged roots-pop rockers. Very Highly Recommended.
