    Wow! What a great sound - Very Alex Chilton with a little Kinks, Byrds, GBV in the mix. I love that it clocks in at under 3 minutes. The perfect pop song length and boy does it leave you wanting more. As all the good ones do...

      @@Marco-mv2wp To be fair. There’s a couple of great Malkmus songs. And a couple of average ones. I’m more of a pavement fan than a jicks fan. I wish he’d go back to more of a pavement style. That angular jicks thing where he’s vocals follow lead runs is kind of boring. I’m new to Emmett and Sweeney. And their tracks have blown me away. Particularly hometown boy. What a track. Give him more
