“Retreat from the Sun” by that dog.: "
Retreat from the Sun
by that dog.
Such a great power-pop record. Supertight girlie harmonies, squeaky keyboards, and crunchy hooks everywhere. Features the lovely and talented Haden sisters as well as rock industry royalty, Anna Waronker.
Fun to hear the old unrequited love theme played so buoyantly and from a poppy girl band instead of yet another mopey hump with a six-string.
Pick hits: “Never Say Never,” “Minneapolis,” and “Long Island.”
RIYL: The Rentals, Weezer, Fastbacks, The Muffs, Sebadoh, The Runaways, violins, moogs, indie rock name-checking Buy Retreat from the Sun on Amazon.com All-Music Guide on that dog. Google: that dog.
