Release Notes:
--------
The Luxury are a Boston based band that is lead by the songs of
frontman/guitarist Jason Dunn. The Luxury's sound ranges from epic guitar
Britpop ("Getaway Car") to brass driven pop ("Straitjacket"). The sound is big
and slick, like Oasis with a hint of The Police in Dunn's vocal style. The
soaring guitars on "Take It Back" is a whirl of lush pop with some progressive
synth stylings. The synths that lead on tracks like "'Til Your Last Year" are
pretty overpowering in spots. The band does have everything here to go to
mainstream success, as tracks like "The Mirror Fogs" and "Next In Line" are full
of harmonies and driving rhythms not unlike REM. The most Oasis-laden track here
is the brilliant "Nothing Comes To Mind" with multi layered guitars and lush
chord changes with Dunn's rich vocals. It's hard to pin down a weak point on the
album, as the band goes all out on the Kinks meets Flaming Lips track "012009."
The mid-tempo track "Sing For The Last Train" does go into familiar Radiohead
territory, and although most of this music isn't strictly power pop it will
appeal to fans of high quality alternative rock. The superior production work
here is so good, you won't find yourself skipping many tracks, and like the last
Luxury album I reviewed, it could easily become a fan favorite. This is a band
just gets better with each release and I would not be surprised if it becomes a
sleeper success this year. - Powerpopaholic
