Title Tracks

Add Date: February 9

Artist: Title Tracks

Album: It Was Easy

Label: Ernest Jenning Recording Co.

Genre: Indie Rock/Pop

Comments: So, John Davis was a drummer for the DC post-hardcore band Q And Not U, then went on to play guitar and vocals in the poppier band Georgie James (which had a less than happy ending recently). I don't know why the advertisement sheet heavily promoted the whole Q And Not U angle, because aside from a few throwback tracks, this album is pretty heavily centered on the pop side. It's also a pretty warm album, from John Davis buttery (though not unpleasant) voice to the total lack of any sort of confrontational tunes, at least music-wise. There's a certain amount of sinister aspect to his lyrics, though it's hardly the male version of The Cardigans. Ultimately, the downfall of Title Tracks is despite listening to it like two times today, I still can't remember much about it, except that the first track made me want to surf, and the last track reminded me of Mission of Burma enough that I wanted to listen to the latter again.
