Album of the Day: The Soft Pack

 
(artist support: image links to iTunes store)

The self titled full length debut from The Soft Pack (formally "The Muslims") was released earlier this month.  I had heard their stuff before and was definitely looking forward to giving their 10 track LP a listen.  Simplistic in its ways, but consitently upbeat and fun.  Fast tempos make for a quick enjoyable listen.  Surf rock inspired guitar riffs blend well with verby rythms.  Singer/guitarist Matt Lamkin sounds somewhat emotionless on some tracks, but it works very well with their overall melodic yet punky sound.  I detect a bit of Strokes influence on a number of tracks.  Expect to hear a lot more from this foursome from San Diego in the near future.

You should sign up (free) for LaLa if you haven't already.  Best site out there for streaming tunes!

Check out "C'Mon", "Answer to Yourself", & "Tides of Time".
