The press release states,"Music City have toured with Sheer Mag and Parquet Courts, and recently returned from Spain and Italy supporting The Lemon Twigs. Put those names together and you'll start to hear where Music City are coming from."
Maybe.
I don't hear Parquet Courts, and if writing hook-filled pop tunes with fantastic harmonies is an automatic comparison to current hot shots The Lemon Twigs, well okay then. Music City, at times, reminds me more of the days of skinny tie power pop, while a few songs, the ballads, have a Laurel Canyon vibe. I had a difficult time finding a bad song on this record. And I was completely hooked after the gorgeous coda of "A Little Favour."
Your miles may vary. But you should listen.
