2007 release from a long-time fave here! Their debut "Go Steady" you need to check out but this stands right alongside that little treasure. Skinny tie, indie power pop done in `double naught` style(it`s the 00`s, after all now!)! Like Superdrag doing The Knack, yes! So many favorite pop sounds are all over this disc - Lovely, gorgeous vocals and band chants, exuberant blasts new wavey melodies flow in and fill every imaginable crack with pop perfection. Power pop salvation for fans of the new school Yes, this is a throwback to rock records of yesteryear, a record that strips away the current musical trends of aggression, angst and whiny navel-gazing, replacing them with solid, hook-filled, guitar-driven pop/rock. Songs about girls and sunny skies. St. Louis, Missouri based singer/songwriter Brian McClelland`s jones for mixing 60`s British invasion (Kinks, the Zombies), 80`s new wave (the Cars, theKnack, Squeeze) and more recent indie guitar rock (Fountains of Wayne, Superdrag) has developed into a truly unique brand of songwriting, filling Maxtone Four`s driving tunes with hooky, buzzy guitars and timeless pop melodies. And lyrics that won`t make you wince. And pop hooks that stick to the songs like fly paper. This is a review from their previous album, but it gives you an idea alongside the music below. "The band produces a great sound with a sharp, poppy thrill that brings to mind the Kinks and XTC. Brian McClelland has an acute sense of observations, andhe uses it with wit and a little venom to tell great stories. The album comes off as a subtle guide, with love songs that aren`t really love songs and hipster cool that is natural. The M4 create a more complex landscape that expects you to think on you feet and get the joke-or risk being part of it."-Playback St. Louis. Extremely Highly Recommended.
