░▓████▓░░║ ║░░▓████▓░
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Even in the early part of the 21st century when ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ everything from heavy metal dub to unlistenable ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ lo-fi shoegazer mumblings gets rave reviews in the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ online press, progressive rock still has a bad ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ name. So when a band comes along claiming both ELO ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and Sly & the Family Stone as influences, you ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ can't help but cringe. Thankfully, the oddly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ punctuated band known as Fun. doesn't take itself ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ too seriously. It's progressive, but in the best ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ possible way. Full string sections provide ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Beatlesque swells of sound, churchy harmonies ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hint at African American Gospel music and the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ swooning vocals of Queen, and, yes, the rhythm ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ section does have some of the pop bombast of ELO, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ but the diverse elements all come together neatly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ in service of the song. The arrangements break ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ down rigid song structures with an open-ended and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ open-minded creativity that ranges far and wide ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ over the musical spectrum. This music needs to be ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ listened to as an album, in one sitting, so you ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ can appreciate the way the musical and lyrical ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ideas flow together and play off of each other. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ That said, there are moments of genius that grab ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ you even on your first casual listen. "At Least ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ I'm Not as Sad (As I Used to Be)" sounds like a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ long-winded country song title, but it's a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ cabaret-flavored rock song with a vaguely Latin ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ instrumental break, big grand piano flourishes, a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ nursery rhyme chorus, and a big finish. The ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ambiguous lyric deals with the loss of friends, or ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ maybe the loss of one's soul, and could be a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ parable about the music business, or just growing ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ up, as Nate Ruess sings it in a tenor voice full ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of an adolescent yearning. Life-long love is not ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ often addressed in rock music, but that's the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ subject of "The Gambler." You could call it the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ grown-up cousin of "When I'm 64," a long, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ beautiful, linear narrative that takes love from ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ 18 to old age, making the journey sound lovely and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ worthwhile. "Be Calm" is based in part on the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ melody from Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," an old prog ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ rock trick, but Fun. keeps thing moving brightly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ along. The song is about an approaching nervous ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ breakdown, and the song's shifting tempos -- from ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ jittery verse to soothing chorus -- aptly convey ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the singer's growing panic. In the '70s, a lot of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ prog rock was marred by pretentious or overly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ sincere or consciously mythic lyrics. Ruess, main ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ wordsmith for Fun., doesn't fall into that trap. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ His lyrics have a way of investigating the larger ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ truths of life -- loneliness, the struggles of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ maintaining relationships, growing up, insecurity, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ even death -- with a witty approach that keeps the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ songs bubbling merrily along on a positive note. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
