Songs That Go Up and Down

Ok Jesse I take back the CB comment. That was made before I really listened and was premature.

This album is very well thought out and delivered. It starts out with a lot energy and somewhat frantic ith 'Bad Ass Tea' and then slows to what feels like a walk through a crowded city street with 'Under These Conditions'. Emotions abound in 'Death of a Pop Star' (nice piano and I loved the synth sound at the end). Hermit Crab is where I mistakenly got sidetracked on the Charly Brown thing but it is so much more than that. Its got almost physical depth and is a prerequisite for 'Funky Nothings', in my opinion, which takes the up and down flow to another level as well. 'Misgivings' piano work shines in a thoughtful ballady way that slows the whole thing down for a breath and a chance to relax, take a drink, lounge out for 'Disengaging Eye Contact' which builds up to the end and then takes you home with the atmospheric somewhat darker 'End of All Time' that cmpletes the journey.
The entire album works the senses, has good movement and is a good listen. The title couldnt be more acurrate. Nice work.
