The cover art
of Seattle-based Half Acre Day's second release reveals a sly sense of humor-children fly kites from rooftops, oblivious that one of them has tumbled off--and the music delivers on the cover's promise. This peppy piece of power pop fittingly kicks off with the chiming guitars and distorted organ of "Limo." But "Let's All Get Together" sums up the disc best, as a shimmery sunshine sound with peaks through overcast words: "Listen to the good vibrations fill the atmosphere like bacon / We'll paint Seattle brown." From jangly guitar to prog-rock keyboards, Half Acre Day offers a Saturday morning cartoon kind of happy matched with darker lyrical content, offering the chance to think a little--while you smile and bob your head.
