I think this album, or one album by these guys might have been AMG's album of the day like a month ago, and maybe that planted a seed, because suddenly I wanted to see what the guys who did Natural One actually did as a band.
That song was no No Rain; the same basic strengths are on display in the rest of their album. There's the muttered delivery that manages to not sound too annoyingly disinterested, over some really sweet basslines, really cleanly produced, and some groovy complimentary guitar parts, sounding somewhere halfway between Soul Coughing and The Eels. At times its a little too smooth, and loses some personality, but I get the idea that these guys just really like making music, and want it to sound good. I could see this being a grower. It doesn't do anything spectacular, but its highly listenable, with a glitter of uniqueness here and there to catch the ear 3.5/5
