As happy-go-lucky sunny indie popsters, jangling like the Byrds and coming across as stylishly snotty like Lambchop, the Free Fall Band shows off a perfect sense of macho sarcasm on 'Every Man'. It is its eighth trackon 'The Munster Sights', and shed a different light on the album when I was listening to it the first time. Before the brass section on it sets in with great bravado, these tarnished pop tunes came off as a bit wee. The languish can't cover up the inner beauty, however, as the singer Jan Bosch tried his best, balancing on his vocal chords. Returning to this album of tainted fragility, I heard a splendour of kitsch pop music styles.
As Californian as can be, as much as anything else, this is classy music all the way. The album features many tracks with a lyrical twist - "I never trusted my mother," sings Bosch on one occasion, and "You tumbled off the cliff and safely made it to the sea" on another.
Culminating in 'The Barbershop', the oboe, or is it a clarinet, becomes the lead instrument challenging Bosch. "Lose some money, lose some friends" tells today's story of the blues. They use stronger words which I shan't repeat. The Free Fall Band dish out a stunning stew of syrupy songs.
