There
is this certain familiarity in the music of Captain Baby that I cannot place
and I am okay with that. This is
somewhere between indie pop rock and something you might hear on the radio (or
at least college radio) and I’m okay with all of that as well. In fact, I’m just so pleased with this CD I
don’t really know where to begin.
Through drum machine beats I am almost immediately
reminded of someone such as Beck or an earlier era Polyvinyl artist. It
then manages to find this groove that puts it somewhere between the second
album by The Stryder and a non-ska version of RxBandits.
I feel
like there is some Rusted Root near the end and maybe even the slightest hint
of Neon Trees, but this is just some good old fashioned rock with those hints
of pop in it. I didn’t think they could
make this anymore without sounding closer to someone else specifically, but
Captain Baby seems to have found a way.
Additionally, they do have a line that states “Why am
I made of bubblegum?” and whether or not that is in reference to “Adventure
Time”, this is still a really solid album.
