Add Date: November 2
Artist: Justin Kline
Album: Triangle/Six Songs
Label: Self-released
Genre: Rock, pop punk
Comments: From the promoter: "Justin Kline is an independent psych pop/power pop artist from the Nashville, TN area. Being a multi-instrumentalist, Justin has recorded and released two solo EPs, Six Songs (2008) and Triangle (2010), which have come to receive a great response from pop fans and music blogs/zines..."
Justin Kline has a crystal-clear voice to go along with his crystal-clear pop songs. He may be seen as the male counterpart to Tegan & Sara... He does a better job of writing and producing pop music than Chris Walla (often considered the true male counterpart to T&S) has ever been able to accomplish.
If you like candy, you'll probably like at least one of the songs on this album. My only qualm with Kline's sound is that it is almost too watered down. Although it's super sweet and catchy, some of it presses the envolope of sounding like a pop-punk band (think Good Charlotte or Taking Back Sunday). Kline seems to alternate between basing his songs on the piano and on the guitar. The piano-based songs often ring similar to the sounds of Ben Folds.
Start with 1, 3, 4.
