iTunes Editors’ Notes

The duo of Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee recruit a half-dozen guests to bulk out much of their twee sound on their second album since reforming in 2008. Kelly, who produces here, credits seeing a Ramones cover band for this album’s inspiration, and it’s easy to hear in the obvious chug of “Crazy Lady” and the playful backing vocals on “One Lost Year.” For genuine twee, there’s the sweet ballad “Single Spies.” Other songs—“The Lonely LP” (sung from a vinyl album’s viewpoint), “Inky Lies,” “High Tide Low Tide”—feature captivating melodies with fuller backing, occasionally reminiscent of Kelly’s days in Eugenius.

My personal favorite on the record is the lonely LP a really upbeat and cheery sond despite being about a record feeling sad and outdated cause people have moved on to MP3's. And I'm surprised that Devil Mooni was a bonus track, which means it barely made the cut I think its the most rocking song on the album! I hope if they tour the states they'll come and visit michigan.
