12 MP3 Songs
POP: 80''s Pop, ROCK: Americana
Details:
The anticipated, sophmore follow up to 2004''s "15 Minutes of Shame", Deluxe Leisure King pays homage to the American sound: power pop, psychedelia, the punk ethic, and folk while holding fast to their southern, jangle roots.
"Debbie Does Nothing" delves into the more grown up topics of suburban disillusionment, political apathy, sexual, social and religious ambivalance while throwing in a mindless pop gem or two about heartbreak or frustration.
"...the album certainly has a shot at finding listeners thanks to its buoyant, retro sound. The disc brims with echoes of the R.E.M. that once made music that college students played loud. And it''s a somewhat more mature album than "15 Minutes," though the frequent irony in its lyrics never runs deep enough interfere with the overall sense of fun. "

"Owing to the vocals, this band reminds me of the sober and pop-oriented Replacements. "I Hope You''re There" is a very catchy, jangly tune that features a melody quite similar to the Yardbirds'' ''Heart Full of Soul.'' The title track is also very catchy. Another solid collection of tunes from the Deluxe Leisure Kings."
