PERNICE RETURN Less fussiness about the production enables the Brothers' latest songs to Live a Little
Pernice Brothers: Seth Kaye
Credits
Release Date: Oct 03, 2006; Lead Performance: Pernice Brothers; Genre: Pop
--
Since Joe Pernice abandoned the country-rock of Scud Mountain Boys for the Bacharachian pop of Pernice Brothers, increasing polish has threatened to sterilize the dark ambiguity of his songs. So it's a delight to report that Live a Little — despite kicking off with a song called ''Automaton'' — finds Pernice throwing off the shackles of overenunciation and fussy production. Grand piano, strings, and horns actually soften the edges of their metronomic precision, and the track about a relationship-salvaging road trip even erupts with handclaps.
