Jeremy Messersmith burst onto the Twin Cities scene in 2006 with The Alcatraz Kid, a home-recorded batch of melodic melancholia that had critics falling over themselves to compare his folk-pop mini-symphonies with angel-voiced and emotionally troubled pop icons like Brian Wilson and Elliott Smith. Followup The Silver City (produced by Semisonic’s Dan Wilson) avoids the sophomore slump by updating his downhearted, sweetly sung tunes with bells and whistles both conventional (strings, brass) and quirky (omnichord, glockenspiel).
