Add Date: January 27
Artist: Anthony Rochester
Album: Music for in the Spaceship
Label: Series II Records
Genre: Indiepop
Comments: The music of Anthony Rochester is spacey pop ranging from soft almost-disco on “Zoologist’s Star” to Latinesque “Did You Lose Weight?” Music for in the Spaceship does in fact sound a little like outer space, but the earnest, real-world words ground the flightly melodies: “I put my trousers on / and then give you a call / I love you baby” (from I Love You Baby). Longwinded titles in the style of Panic! at the Disco (but not half as pretentious, of course) add a pop of humor to a seriously good album. Songs about Australian aliens (on "Interplanetary Relationships can be Problematic at the Best of Times") aren’t just funny, they’re also very good. The sound is groovy, but doesn’t seem dated, and sounds a little like Labrador Record’s Airliner. I would certainly enjoy listening to the album again, especially if I were on a spaceship.
