Actor Jason Schwartzman's band shows up with a sophomore release full of simple indie pop tunes that get stuck in the humming part of your head. Schwartzman's plaintive tenor channels the likes of many smart indie pop vocalists of the last two decades, and lyrical topics remain interesting enough to justify their minimalist production setting. Those in the know will enjoy the reference to Schwartzman's stint as the drummer for underrated power pop outfit Phantom Planet.
