As
laconic as he is lanky, School For The Dead bandleader Henning Ohlenbusch
is a composer of bright, poppy songs that range within lines from witty
to wistful. Ohlenbusch has wisely chosen to enlist a stable of stellar musicians
to deliver his tunes with vigor and verve and the accomplished quintet grooves
to his muse, fleshing out the songs with charm and American beauty.
The New you is a singalongfest of an album. Melodies that are catchier
than malaria and/or Brooks Robinson in the early 70s, more hooks than
you could find in NESN's Charlie "The Codfather" Moore's tacklebox
and /or a videotaped viewing of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar circa 1978 with the
fast-forward button firmly depressed.
Emo? No. Poppy? Copy. Nice work.
