QU

(MySpace Records)

It’s a bit surprising that Different Light, the 2007 sophomore release from Sherwood, didn’t help make the California band a household name. With their Pet Sounds-era harmonies and a sound that evoked everyone from the Beatles to ELO, the album was pretty damn close pop rock perfection. Their latest, QU, is almost as good. It’s a bit cliché to talk about a maturing sound in record reviews, but it’s true with this outing. The band is certainly feeling more comfortable with their writing and has never sounded tighter. Tracks like “Not Gonna Love” sound better than anything the band has recorded in the past. Here’s hoping QU helps the band reach the larger audience they so clearly deserve.

Break It Up is former Be Your Own Pet singer’s Jemina Pearl’s solo debut for Ecstatic Peace. Whereas her former band concentrated on bratty punk, here Pearl seems to be attempting to broaden her palette.
Mute Math utilizes a familiar formula to shape the sounds of their second album, Armistice.
There is no doubt Mirman has a wickedly artistic and funny mind and it plays out in several moments on his third comedy disc.
Natural Forces may not be his best effort, but even a mediocre Lovett is still a pretty good thing.
The record meanders around the path a few times, on an unsure but adventurous journey nonetheless. For those looking for a record that is out of the box yet not overly experimental, Le Loup does nicely.
