Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Telekinesis, and The Kickback at Lincoln Hall
Just call this the friends of Chris Walla tour. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin plays highly accessible indie pop for sweater-wearing people who think Death Cab For Cutie is too intense. Perhaps it's appropriate, then, that Death Cab guitarist Walla produced the band's latest saccharine long-player, Let It Sway. Judging from tracks like “Sink/Let It Sway” and the sing-along shanty “Back In The Saddle,” it's doubtful the band will be pushing into deep, gloomy territory anytime soon. Telekinesis’ Merge debut also felt the smooth touch of Walla’s producer fingers. Telekinesis! finds singing drummer Benjamin Michael Lerner daydreaming about Tokyo and getting nostalgic for days spent in sandboxes, but he keeps himself grounded in power chords and catchy little choruses. No word on how he feels about sweaters, though.
