As Merge Records co-honcho/Superchunk sovereign, it's safe to assume that McCaughan knows the indie-rock ropes -- i.e. in this case, understands the power of nostalgic pang hybridized with sweet-n-mild tunage. But an ear for sharp-n-trebly guitar tones and employing buzzy emo-keybs/new wave fixin's/occasional femme-vox certainly don't hurt none; and barring some twee-sentimental blech expressed during "Only Do", his reflective musings can bear some charm: antsy basement show wire-wind, night venture into the woods armed with tapes and "the cheapest beer there is", a special someone's hand in his sleeve amid a wet-leaf walk triggering an emotional punch-to-the-gut 'ohhhh'. Sure, it's moderate; no ground is broken and they sport some generi-chourses, but in a way that winds up fortifying the simpler-times anamneses. Still coming across this youthful at this stage of the game though, that's just Mac doin' Mac.
