Outgoing Behavior

Crystal Skulls

Instead of angular post-Fall inspired riffage or the art-damaged tones of their angsty Seattle neighbors, these boys have studied their AM radio classics, finding as much in common with Donald Fagan as contemporary homeboys The Sea And Cake. With a bite of George Harrison's guitar and a nip at Stereolab's rhythms, last year's debut "Blocked Numbers" was a true pop pleasure. This, their follow-up, channels a cocky hint of "Meat Is Murder"-era Smiths and sits on a treasure chest of songs that Todd Rundgren would gladly drop trou for. Vocalist Wargo's nu-lounge swagger carries his well-honed band through eleven tracks of smoky AM glory. "Clean, tight, and tuneful" - The Washington Post.
