Tad Overbaugh

Farther From Near

(Rum Bar Records)



The wise calculation of the Sherman Brothers' "Spoonful of Sugar" applies here. The communication of accomplished lyricism is facilitated by mellifluous architecture; indeed, so sweeping is the music - Roots and Pop earnestness that reminds many of Minneapolis Punk personages the Replacements - that one's consciouness benefits, even as glasses are tipped and feets do their happy business.

Recommended: "Mended Man," "14873," "Only Happy at Happy Hour," "July"
