After a couple albums of the same basic bristly beats + gorgeous guitars, Steve mixes things up a bit. Don't worry, guitars are still impossibly pretty, and maybe even more expressive than ever. But it feels like Steve's embraced the uncoolness of this kind of rock music and decided, fuckit, let's have some fun with it, bringing in some synthy pops, some actual crunch, some goodtime riffage. Check Cartoon Rock, which lives up to its name, putting a grin on any living face.
The ripping classics-medley encore at a recent Boston show proves that this dude knows and loves his rock history, and is willing to let er rip - here's hoping his next one takes the goodtimes rolling one step further 4/5
