| Philadelphia's
The Trouble with Sweeney's full-length is inspired by '60s pop of
The Turtles and The Lovin' Spoonful, but also points forward, purifying
their cross-bread alt-country instincts. Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner (Marah)
adds lap steel and Brian McTear (Mazarin) produces. Their 2000 self-titled
ep was listed in a writer's top 10 of 2000 on rollingstone.com, apparently
those tortured missives of love and disenchantment are still cool. |
