Artist: Title Tracks
Album- It Was Easy
Label- Ernest Jenning Record Co
Genre- Dark power pop
Solo album from Q and Not U drummer John Davis (playing most instruments) that is full of infectious power-pop tracks. Opener “Every Little Bit Hurts” is a nice quick song full of rushed verses that is kind of reminiscent of Ted Leo, while other tracks are more relaxed and sparse but still highly enjoyable. A couple tracks (#3…about bubblegum of all things) veer too hard into cutesy indie-pop but when Davis is at his darkest the songs are best. Two covers, Bruce Springsteen’s “Tougher than the Rest” (a duet with Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell) and the Byrds’ “She Don’t Care About Time” top off the 9 original tracks. Adolescent angst combines with pop sensibilities to make an interesting debut.
