Math and Physics Club's first EP on Matinee was a pleasant surprise, youngsters from Seattle playing classic Sarah-brand indie pop. Very tuneful, warm, and inviting. Their second single isn't a surprise, but it is equally as pleasant. Movie Ending Romance features the same winning blend of U.K. and Aussie indie pop melodicism and literate romance. The title track is the highlight, a short and sweet love song that would have slotted in well on an early Belle & Sebastian EP. The stately "White and Grey" (love that harmonica solo -- a perfect pastoral touch) and the almost rollicking "Graduation Day" give it a run-though. To cap things off they take a spirited run through the Beach Boys' "You're So Good to Me". ~ Tim Sendra|
