Broom (CD)
Their debut is an expertly crafted indie pop gem. Spin declared the Missouri band "could succeed The Shins." Then a slew of bloggers ranked them ahead of Wilco and Iron & Wine in Leafblower's annual "Top Bands Of America Today". Broom sparkles when it rocks, has hooks galore, and should make a lasting impression. Think The Shins, Pavement, Of Montreal, and Elliott Smith. "One of those rare albums where every song is crafted, delicious, and essential" - SF Weekly.

| This band calls themselves the 3rd best band on Weller Street, Missouri. In my opinion, that's a bit of an understatement. This album is rather excellent and features some excellent laid-back guitar tunes. SSLYBY manages to create great alt-pop'ish sound without any spectacular effects, just pure music. This album took me by surprise, and it's definitely worth buying! | |
