I don't know quite where to place this guy's music. Everyone else says "obvious Smiths tribute" but I don't really see it. I mean, I see where they're coming from, but I'm sure there are better, more accurate comparisons (though, in the song "Sacred Heart" that comparison is quite accurate). Nonetheless, it's some sort of pop. When I put on Cass McCombs radio on Pandora, the only band I recognized was The Jesus And Mary Chain... I heard of Cass McCombs first when watching the Enjoi skate video, Bag Of Suck, where that song I mentioned, "Sacred Heart" was one of Jerry Hsu's songs along with Sonic Youth's Carpenters cover. I thought it was a good song so I got the album and wasn't as impressed with the rest, but after listening to it more, it grew on me. I feel like other people could appreciate this more at first impression than I did. I'm considering editing the last song on my iTunes though because the last seven minutes are a car alarm going off, so I want to cut that out. One time I left this on while I was sleeping, and that part woke me up the same way an alarm clock would!
