Album Notes Personnel: Matt Nathanson (acoustic guitar); Michael Chavez (guitar); Mark Weinberg, Aaron Tap (electric guitar); Ben West (keyboards); John Thomasson (electric bass); Jason McGerr, Jason McKenzie (drums); Jim McGroman, Marshall Altman, Suzie Mcneil (background vocals). Matt Nathanson occupies that grassy, unevenly mown field between indie and stadium rock, delivering intelligent and anthemic guitar-driven pop with a shrugging, just-folks attitude. The jittery, glittering songs share both the earnestness and the fireworks of bands like U2, and the quieter ballads (played often on a 12-string acoustic guitar) chime like prime Elliott Smith. This sixth full-length by the San Francisco-based artist was his best-selling one to date, appearing on the Billboard Top 200 in 2007.
Industry Reviews Nathanson is a skillful lyricist with a keen ear for melody, which saves even the most heartbreaking tunes from disappearing under their own weight.
