Hate to be a yaysayer but I think it's worth a listen. Basically it's a Camera Obscura-school record with an awful cover. The songs are well done if you like the style.

Auto tune is annoying but is hardly the studio villian it's been made out to be. You could argue that ever since you could do multiple takes of the same track and pick the best of them (basically the fifties), that studio work has always been about trickery...or doing stuff that can't be done live. I'm not sure I care....although I definitely could.should have used the technology myself over the years!

I had a thought today whilst listening to the Strawberry Alarm Clock - a late 60's psych pop band that you've all likely heard of. The thought was that this music, which has never been given much critical shrift, but which stands time's test pretty darn well in today's world of neo-psych, begs the question of how stagnant pop has become. SAC has jazzy melodies, cool dynamic shifts, interesting arrangement layers (and yes, to their detriment, some really stupid lyrics), really not that far away from the work being done by some of our favourite bands 42 years later - say, Tame Impala or Deerhunter. And it was popular in its day but quickly considered irrelevant....though it sounds pretty bang on to me.
