New Music Reviews – It’s about time!

For the first time this year I’m surrounded by a plethora of great new music and I want to make sure everyone in ObviousPopLand don’t miss out on all of the fantastic albums and songs I’ve been hearing. Here are short blurb reviews and links for you… Don’t miss these!


Jeremymessersmithreluctantcov First off is Minnesota’s own Jeremy Messersmith with his brilliant new release The Reluctant Graveyard. Don’t let the title fool you into thinking this is a morbid affair because it’s an artistic power pop masterpiece. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite track but you might as well start with the upbeat “Lazy Bones." -- www.jeremymessersmith.com



Yeahyou'scover Candlethievescov What’s my favorite new release of the year so far? Right now it is a tie between The Yeah You's and The Candle Thieves. Both are UK bands of course and both have killer hooks and quirky power pop songs that will get stuck in your craw and stay there for days, weeks, months…No one knows how many licks it will take to get to the center of these lolly pop masterpieces but they are both brilliant! “Getting Up With You” by The Yeah You's is my favorite song of the year so far, followed closely by the wow-inducing melodic pop of “We’re All Gonna Die (Have Fun)” from The Candle Thieves. You absolutely have to hear both of these albums…ever single song. -- http://www.myspace.com/theyeahyous -- http://www.thecandlethieves.com/


Keanenighttraincov There’s a new Keane CD! This is not your parent’s Keane though… this 8 song EP called Night Train takes on a very different spin from their previous releases with a new sound that is definitely fresh. There are more keys and more pop hooks, so I love it, but I’m not sure all long-time fans will be along for the ride. A word of warning… there is rap on a couple of tracks and I am not sure it fits that well. Make sure you listen to “Back In Time” and “My Shadow." -- www.keanemusic.com


MinusomnicovMinus The Bear… I love these crazy kids! What in the world is this band all about? They have a brand new album called Omni with excellent packaging and stunningly wonderful 70’s influenced alt rock. This one really blows me away…Cool production; great songs, fun synths and most importantly, they’ve got the rock. How about that! Check out “Secret Country” and “My Time." -- http://minusthebear.com/



Take Care Of Me - Cover Rick Altizer has consistently delivered great power pop and I’ve always been a big fan. He takes an adventurous turn on his brand new album Take Care of Me – The Rise and Fall of $am. This is not all the light and fun power pop you would expect from Rick. It is a politically charged concept album with a more serious twist and even some Pink Floyd influence poking through the hooks. He has always made great power pop music, but this is his most consistent and artistic yet featuring the best hooks and melodies of his career. Check out “Feed Me” and “I Want My Whatever." -- http://www.rickaltizer.com/

There is even more great new music on the horizon with new albums on the way from Devo, The Lost Dogs, Crowded House and more. Stay tuned for the next all new ObviousPopCast coming soon!
