Fortune

Kinda cute and quirky alterna-edged pop. Touches of an acoustic style slide through the songs, with a radio drawl that makes me think of Barenaked Ladies, but I can’t quite figure out why. Maybe a little more along the lines of Cake, but with more straight ahead rock n’ roll. Or if Corky and the Juice Pigs (or something like that) were into singing better songs with more instruments. The hooks are sharp, the production is clean, and there’s a nice feeling of space between the notes. Never too full, letting the songs speak softer.

Don’t let the stats fool you. Zyzzyx Road may have been the lowest grossing movie in history, but is it worth checking out? Phil Bailey explores the new 4K UHD from Dark Arts Entertainment.
