Silver Sun

Their first album proper, Silver Sun don't mess with their formula much but come out smelling sweet due to James Broad's knack for writing classy pop songs with a bite. "Golden Skin" kicks the doors open and the band never lets up. "Julia," "Dumb," "Service" and "Bad Haircut" join the list of top-notch Silver Sun songs, with nothing on the album falling below the quality control limits set by their first batch of singles. With not much variation between songs, some may find it easier to take the album in doses, but, as a whole, it's pretty damn impressive. ~ Steven "Spaz" Schnee, All Music Guide
