Founded in New York City, this band has shaped its fourth studio album into a jangly, dusty Americana-dominant landscape. Their forte is part Del Lords, through ear-caressing “Tess of Soho,” that brings an earthiness to an urban geography that glides into a partially rootsy Grateful Dead-era (“Sunset”) plaintive melody. Charlie & Will Sexton (guitars/vocals) lay down pastel, smoky vocals that are warmly rustic.
Produced by Andrew Morse (guitar/Farfisa/bgv) & David Boyle, the 10 well-cultivated songs of The Kindness of Numbers (Dropped Nov 7/Stand Clear Music/United Masters) were recorded in Austin, TX. The motivation rolls on into the ass-kicking “Fix My Head.” Still, with that Del Lord’s pulse via a Grateful Dead resonance, I found this easily likable. It’s different in a charming manner. There are even shades of The Band, Bernie Taupin’s brief run with the Farm Dogs & “End of the Line” with its bluesy harmonica (Wade Schuman) has a Traveling Wilburys sparkle. Of course, the guitar work throughout these pieces is propulsive & driving if not seasoned with escapism. The way R&R was meant to be. With some Lou Reed intonation & vocal tone, “New York Girl” is sung with the purest of intentions, not ignoring the slight Dion DiMucci forever-cool-dude style delivery. With an alt-country curve on a Big Apple subject. Peculiar right? But it’s done with finesse. Even the backup vocals on several cuts are inspired. Laid out with more of a Tito & Tarantula/Los Lobos/Doug Sahm foundation is “After You’re Gone.” Another slice of cool, if not all too brief. That’s probably my only criticism is that some songs could’ve afforded a few more verses, another round of instrumental bravado, or a solo on a different instrument for variation. It would’ve served up more flavors.
