Joe Pernice makes the most beautiful statements out of sadness, and this followup to the Bros. uneven but fine debut Overcome by Happiness is proof of that. It’s a more lush, fuller-sounding, and sonically ambitious effort than the debut, evoking comparisons to Pet Sounds, Nick Drake, and Jimmy Webb. Pernice’s explorations into poetic pop closes the book on his previous country-tinged work with the Scud Mountain Boys. A soaring, blissful soundtrack for a lazy Sunday morning.
