      The second album by Brooklyn indie rockers Hunters, Run!
      buries a number of genuinely interesting musical ideas under
      a sheen of affected hipsterism. Listened to casually,
      Forgotten Souvenirs of the Modern Age sounds way too much
      like just another batch of overeducated kids playing with
      ProTools in a Williamsburg loft, a first impression that
      isn't helped at all by the album's flat, affectless
      production. Fight past the bland too cool for schoolness,
      however, and singer/songwriter Larry Hess proves to have a
      more interesting set of influences than many of his
      contemporaries -- the melodic complexity of prime XTC circa
      Black Sea and English Settlement and late-era Hⁿsker Dⁿ and
      Replacements, when Bob Mould and Paul Westerberg were
      unpeeling emotional truths behind their wall of feedback, for
      starters -- and is able to transform those into a batch of
      varied and tuneful songs with wittily evocative lyrics.
      Highlights include the title track, the album's most
      instantly memorable tune, and the Feelies-like jangle and
      swoon of "Union, CT," as well as the atmospheric darkness of
      the skeletal closer, "It Was Then That I Realized Even This
      Would End." Forgotten Souvenirs of the Modern Age does take
      several listens to decode, but the rewards are worth the
      effort.
