After two independent albums and a 1998 Island release entitled WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOU EITHER, brothers, songwriters, musicians, singers, and producers Evan and Jaron Lowenstein put together this impressive, eponymously titled Columbia debut. The building, expansive melody of the album's opener, "Outerspace," establishes the hallmarks of the soaring power pop aesthetic that carries the record: irrepressible melodic hooks, clean, powerful musicianship, and tight song structures. Straightforward, melody-heavy rockers ("From My Head to My Heart"), mid-tempo acoustic guitar grooves ("On the Bus"), McCartney-esque piano ditties ("Wouldn't it Be Nice to Be Proud"), and plaintive songs of introspection ("The Distance") prove Evan and Jaron well versed in the pop song lexicon. They pepper each song with catchy songwriting touches, adding an anthemic chorus here, a delicate high harmony there. Outstanding production (the executive producer is T Bone Burnett) couches Evan and Jaron's performances in a broad wash of electric guitar, a crisp, powerful drum sound and, on occasion, mildly psychedelic sound effects. The result is an album of catchy, well-crafted, substantive pop that shimmers with a brilliant, streamlined sound.
