Although the band had been around for less than two years, it was earning praise all over the United States, and a record deal ensued. What separates the trio from last year\u2019s glut of new bands is not only its stage setup (drummer-vocalist Gena Olivier places herself center stage, in front of guitarist Larry Schemel and keyboardist-guitarist Jason Hammons), but also its witty song structures and awkward phrasing. One listen to \u201cBlue Babies\u201d or the opening track, \u201cPersimmon Tree,\u201d may draw inevitable comparisons to a stripped-down Stereolab or even early Lush\u2014without all the feedback and walls of noise. Another listen might hint at Broadcast. It\u2019s a fine, proper debut with lots of promise.
