#1203 Cass McCombs - Big Wheel and Others

A sprawling 22-songer, all over the map, as long as that map is loosely of a region of country-flecked, pop-tinted, singer-songwriter indie rock. But given that map of that particular region? Alloverit, like Stephin Merritt or UNPOC or Beck straddling his most adventurous acoustic and most pedestrian electric sides. It's a little overpretty, a little overclever, a little underclever, but an enjoyable trip for working, driving, or doing anything that can distract you from the little something or another it's lacking 3.5/5
