'More Adventurous' has everything you could ask for in a guitar pop album. 'It's A Hit' is a simple yet great pop song with a fantastic line in one-liners. 'Portion For Foxes' is just about as good as an indie-guitar rock song can be. 'I Never' harks back to the girl groups of Motown's hey-day. The title track 'More Adventurous' is a ballad that out-ballads the best ballads...with a country twang. But the best is saved 'til last. Well second last anyway. 'A Man/Me/Then Jim' is simply a wonderful song; a great guitar line, fantastic melody, gentle brass and a top lyric.
And each song, bar one, features the crystal clear voice of Jenny Lewis. Albums really don't get any better than this outside a certain Athens four piece. You still here? What are you waiting for - go and seek out this belter of an indie-guitar pop album.
