Produced by Spongetones leader Jaime Hoover, the classic refrains of The Beatles ring crystal clear all over The Everyday Things awe-inspiring debut, "Lighten Up, Francis". Clear, readily identifiable echoes of timeless bands like The Plimsouls, The Beat(Paul Collins), The Romantics and 20/20 are enough reason to drop everything right now and listen to the soundbites below. But remember the movie "That Thing You Do" and those insanely catching numbers The Wonders, the fictional Beatles-inspired mop top band, were playing? Well, praise be to the pop heavens, The Everyday Things remind us The Wonder, as well as Barry And The Remains and The Zombies(and, yes...The Spongetones "Beat And Torn"). This British-Invasion power pop done as preciously and gloriously as can be done, pop fans.

We live to encounter hard-driving punchy and sweet crunchy power pop like this and we know you do, too. Why are you here, right? Theres a lot to listen and check the proof of the pudding of words here. We believe in letting music do the talking and put them out there for you. Witness the trumped up, ringing guitar melodies echoing gorgeously endlessly in the music-mind. The rich, always challenging and non-clichd production from Jaime Hoover. But if that does not put The Everyday Things in the winners circle, live with the singing. The plaintive, classic pop stylings of lead singer Rory Odani are a rare treasure, in a all-digital world where everyones uncle and second cousin are releasing records thinking they can sing well enough to carry an album. Odani and co-band leader Troy Paterson have created a classic, classic indie power pop album. Not only one of the finest youll hear this year, but well put forth: the decade.
