The Clock Comes Down the Stairs

Genre: Rock

3.75 Out of 5

Highlights:

Birthday Girl

With that name I really really really wanted this to be like Deep Freeze Mice. You know…experimental, lo-fi, weird.

It’s not. I mean, it is weird. But only because the songwriters have a unique take on what sounds like simple pop rock. This might make no sense to anyone (and maybe I’m crazy) but they kind of sound like a (20 years earlier) Irish version of Barenaked Ladies. 

This is everything I wanted Everything But the Girl to be but they aren’t. It’s not a revelation but it’ll do. And it peters out toward the end pretty sharply but it was pleasant enough.
