It's pronounced Michael

1-2-3-4

Having seen the band live a couple of times, the album was very slightly a let down. Live they are a four piece, and very dynamic and compelling. The album is recorded solely by Mikal Cronin, which means you perhaps lose some of the vibrancy and originality of the full band.

However there's enough good songs on the album to hold it together for me to want to play it fairly regularly. As other reviewers eluded to, it is a touch formulaic and predictable, but it's a style that works for one album.

Like the MC5, but three less?

Inoffensive straightforward guitar pop, from what I can remember, competently written and well played. But what I can remember this far down the line from reviewing is actually very little, hence my score.
