Their sound is self described as "lullaby rock," since they apparently recorded the album in the basement of their house in Brooklyn, and there was a limit on the amount of loud noise they could make. Be that as it may, there are a number of songs on the album that rock, such as "The Birthday Show" and my personal favorite "Career Day," which reminds me a whole hell of a lot of something Joe Pernice would have his hand in.
The whole album gives off a great pop vibe, reminding me somewhat of Big Star at times without ever really sounding like them. There is a decidedly lo-fi, warm feel to the album—great music to put on the player on a cold night while curled up in front a fire and reading a good book. And if you don't read or have a fireplace, I guess you could just sit and stare at the walls…but then people might think you're crazy. —Jake
