Queens, NYC duo release Count Bateman, one of the more interesting albums that's come my way this August. Wistful and poetic and wry by turns it's gently elegiac and full of good songs.
It really hits a winning streak over its last few tracks, which I've posted here. Seeming to take the Neil Young of Everyone Knows This is Nowhere and Elliott Smith as its guiding inspirations it has a slight melancholic edge to it as if something has gone and simply can't be retrieved, but memories are like that.
The songs never outstay their welcome and often leave a considerable imprint, on this listener at least. As Summer makes its inevitable descent towards Autumn here's a record to listen to in order to savour that moment.
