about

With 17 years and 10 albums under his belt in the indie power pop and Bay Area music scene, Well Wishers frontman and brainchild Jeff Shelton shows no signs of slowing down. In fact “Post Modern Romantic”, the 5th full length from Shelton and his loyal collective of contributors, is the Well Wishers’ most rocking, power-house platter to date. Driven by tight, punchy rhythms from drummer and former Spinning Jennies bandmate Nick Laquintano, the album’s 11 tracks deliver a sonic assault of guitars and soaring melodies all punctuated by Shelton’s signature vocals and harmonies that recall the best of artists like the Posies, Nada Surf, Bob Mould, Redd Kross, and Cheap Trick. The homage here is topped of by a heartfelt and spirited cover of the song “Fountains” originally recorded by the revered underground 80’s Canadian punk band The Nils.

Power pop is a pretty formulaic genre -- a glorious formula, but still, predictable enough that lots and lots of bands can pull off a "perfect" blend of melody, harmony, jangle and crunch a time or two in the course of their careers. But I can't name another record that hits the magic spot EVERY SINGLE TRACK. This is so f$%#ing good. Craig O'Neill
