Not without reason this album is called bare copy of the Postal Service classic "Give Up". Nevertheless, this disc is strong. One of the best things that have appeared in the pop world in 2010. Adam Youngs project is dedicated to the easily accessible Electropop. Organ, keyboard, synthesizer, vocals, songwriting and production controls of more demure Young in itself. In addition, some session musicians to help out. The board is of music and text ago close to the border to kitsch, it exceeds even partially ("Dental Care"). But it is precisely this naive child makes the strength of this album out. In places, it rocks even offering simply beautiful melodies ("Cave In", "On The Wing"). Especially in songs like "The Tip of the Iceberg" proximity to Postal Service becomes clear. But when Adam Young has used this band as an inspiration, why not ?! "Fireflies" is simply a stunner. A great title that has made it to 6th place in the German charts and landed even in several countries at # 1. Pretty much the best chart Shit long. Bring back 80s feeling and is even nowadays mass appeal. Commerce and good music therefore have to once again not rule. I hear "Fireflies" (and of course the rest of the album) on my phone when I'm often on the road. It's always fun and my environment got me schonmal the hum. Actually was "Fireflies" rolled endlessly on the radio. But unlike other titles, it creates this hit, just do not be boring. More gently it comes to in numbers like "Vanilla Twilight" (beautiful synthesizer melodies) and "Meteor Shower". "Umbrella Beach" even what techno, what can happen when Synthiepop but schonmal. A huge classics will not be safe, "Ocean Eyes". But there is a light in the darkness of the whole Krams, the lands now in the charts.
