Psapp hit the mainstream with the theme song to the popular show Grey's Anatomy, but there has been a quiet buzz about them since their charming debut Tiger, My Friend. That charm was amplified on 2005's The Only Thing I Ever Wanted, and two years later they return with a new album that is, dare I say it, yet another improvement on their unique sound. Playful lyrics with unorthodox sounds in the background is a cheap way to describe Psapp, but I guess it's the best I can come up with. They bring an energy to each song that is palpable. This record shows a lot of changes in tempo, and the melodies almost sound video gamish at times, but strangely it works very well for what they're trying to do. By now there's just so many influences melding with an already offbeat style that it makes Psapp's very poppy offerings very hard to describe. But that's the ironic thing - this is definitely pop music, just the very imaginative and impeccably produced kind you don't hear very often.
