Approximately eleven jillion awful pop bands/songwriters try to pull off this combination of acoustic guitars, confessional/melancholy lyrics, artfully stacked harmonies & orchestral touches. Chilton & Bell, effortlessly talented, skirt the extremely fine line between perfect melancholy & totally maudlin. Good enough that they make every aching sweet song seem like your favorite, until the next one starts and it's your favorite instead. What kind of a person could hear 'The Ballad of El Goodo' and not want to give somebody a great big hug?Tracklisting: Feel, Ballad of El Goodo, In the Street, Thirteen, Don't Lie to Me, The India Song, When My Baby's Beside Me, My Life is Right, Give Me Another Chance, Try Again, Watch the Sunrise, ST 100/6.
