Highly Enjoyable Indie Pop Debut,
By
This review is from: Army Navy (Audio CD)
The full length debut from Los Angeles based band Army Navy sounds like a happy collision between the Monkees, Teenage Fanclub, Nick Lowe, Marshall Crenshaw and the Housemartins. The slightly noirish album cover, showing a phone booth in the dark, belies the sunny music inside, which is full of soaring melodies, jangly guitars and breezy harmonizing. I'm not sure listeners will necessarily find anything radically new or groundbreaking here among the 12 tracks included here, but it's otherwise difficult to find fault with a set of music so filled with infectious melodies and so highly enjoyable. Standout cuts: "Dark As Days," "Saints," "Unresponsive Ears" and "Ignite."

One of the Year's Best!,

This review is from: Army Navy (Audio CD)
The often-overlooked musical genre that we call power pop has always maintained a steady stream of top-notch purveyors, thanks to the likes of Tommy Keene, Myracle Brah, Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick, Guided By Voices (when Robert Pollard's not going all prog-rock on us), The Well Wishers and others. Whooshing in like a breath of fresh air out of Los Angeles, Army Navy wields high the jangly, melodic and uber-catchy power pop banner that was long-ago established by West Coast bands like The Quick, 20/20, Paul Collin' Beat and The Three O'Clock, who Army Navy reminds me of at times. Along with Tommy Keene's newest "In The Late Bright", Army Navy is among the year's best releases thus far and a top contender for the year's most enjoyable.

I first heard of this band by seeing the movie "Nick and Nora's Infinite playlist". "Slight of hand", "Dark as days" are my favorite songs, but the whole album is classic. I play the entire album almost every day. Definitely worth to own.
