Anderson and getting hitched to Aimee Mann, Michael Penn has managed to maintain a quiet solo career. Penn's fourth album, recorded while he was working on film scores, finds the singer/songwriter building adding to his impressive canon of well-crafted pop nuggets. Like his prior work, MP4 is soaked in pop flourishes of Beatlesque proportions: loads of harmonies, plenty of fuzz guitar, and psychedelic nuances (Mellotron, Clavinet, etc.). This time around, Penn sings of humanity's lack of progress (the Spectorian "Lucky One"), as well as relationships both unhealthy (the sweepingly grand "Beautiful") and dying (the Smithereens-flavored "Out of Its Misery"). Not surprisingly, Penn also brings in the requisite L.A. pop ringers (Grant Lee Phillips, Mann) to create a record that successfully merges solid songwriting fundamentals to an equally entrancing compositional bed.
