Back in Black
by Archie Powell & The Exports
Rip-roaring power pop with all the deadpan wit and guitar noise of early Weezer and legitimized by the songwriting chops of Tom Petty and Elvis Costello.

IMPOSSIBLE WEIGHT

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

Future Me Hates Me

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it!

The Toronto jangle-pop outfit keep things short, simple — and super catchy – on their buoyant full-length debut.

15 years into their career, the Toronto indie rockers sound sharp and ebullient as ever.
