Product Description Sometimes we think about the album like this: landing softly in a new town, things that make you sad but are so beautiful you bring them out again anyway, the part where you kick the trashcan just because you remembered something that pissed you off, the moonlit night where you were far from the city and the stars and the orange and the snow swirled together, the relentless highway drive that you don?t remember because you were listening to the radio really loud.

CD ReviewsNow I Remember Why I Love Albums Cat Marigold | Oregon | 09/29/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Once and a while you stumble across a record that reminds you of why you love music in the frist place.
My music-love-life ebbs and flows. At times, it all seems so silly, you know, like if you listen to the wrong radio station for more than a half-hour, you start to wonder why you bother at all. During those times, I try to look back on my past. I try to remember what it was that could make me just sit and listen to the same record over and over. Sometimes, it seems like those records are destined to be just a thing of the past. Is there any heart in modern popular music at all? Or is it all fashion? But then I heard Watertown by this little band from San Francisco and all hope returned to me. What a great collection of earnest beautiful songs! This is an album. Sure, it's full of great individual songs, but the CD flows like a record, like it's all one thing. It's starts off smoothly with the enchanting "Synaptic Gap". It's hypnotising and it's setting you up for the trip that's in store for you. From the popfest "Instaglo" through the wrenching "Birthday" passed the nolstalgic high-point "Watertown" and on and on. These songs are perfect for a car-ride or for just lying back and listening through a big set of orange headphones. The music wraps around you like a blanket. This album feels like home to me. Lovers of well-written honest catchy indie-poppy-rocky quality music should check this out. Recommended for fans of Trembling Blue Stars, The Breeders, Fountains of Wayne, Liz Phair, School for the Dead, The Lucksmiths, Aimee Mann, Belle and Sebastian, The Feelies, and even The Cars." |
