Where the pair’s previous mutual efforts showed them peering at pop songs from tide pools of mutated adult contemporary and first-thought-best-thought poetics, this new LP snapshots an unselfconscious reach toward the kind of CD era song craft that lives in your car’s center console, always ready to be thrown on while life happens. It spiritually grafts its scope from heyday all-timers like R.E.M. or K.D. Lang while winking at 90s pop country via flutters of pedal steel, banjo, and fiddle. Yet all of these inspirations remain self-honest and un-borrowed, modifying and underlining the crystal-clear sincerity that has come to define their co-output.
