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.

Wow. Seriously. Those kids are great -- thanks for the heads up!!!
Found this on YouTube -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28LpgWtDwD0&list=RD28LpgWtDwD0&start_radio=1. It's billed as them, and it clearly is the lead guy, but it's also billed as going to be on the new album, which it isn't. Or am I confused?
It's definitely on the album.
Ah, okay. When you get a chance, let me know where I can buy it. Which is something I haven't done for new music in what seems like a million years.
Well, if you want a CD, Amazon has. Vinyl gets released in two weeks. If you want files, you can buy on Apple or Amazon.
The Music City CD at Amazon isn't them -- it's some old country comp. I think I'm spring for the vinyl when it's available.
You're right. That's strange. Vinyl only? I preordered.
