Hooray for Power Pop. The upbeat vibe and solid guitar jangle will make anyone with a sense for the greatness in a song (along with a set of ears) bob their head, especially if listening to Mike Delevante’s solo debut in September Days. This offering is clean and crisp, a record that hints at New Wave and LA’s late 1980’s Paisley Underground music scene, while also giving a nod to an act like Marshall Crenshaw, or even The Fab Four.
That aforementioned nod comes right out of the gate, as “The Rain Never Came Down” mirrors The Beatles’ “And Your Bird Can Sing”. The jangly guitar continues into “When You’re Around”, a cut that reminds us about missing someone, while “Don’t Count Me Out” is a catchy plea to be relied upon. “Still Me” is a cool cut, ripe for a dark lounge, “Good Cry” is made for crying in your beer, and “Make Believe” comes with a subtle, sad psychedelic swirl. “I Wrote to You” is a rhythmic driver that could inspire an Old School pogoing, “Sunset” will pull that flower off the wall and score your next your dance steps, and the album closer in “Coming Home” treads into Folk Pop while keeping that clean jangle.
Lyrically, personal reflections and honest admissions are right up front, all coming via Old School Pop where the jangle never stops. (by Bryant Liggett)
