On their fourth album, Comfort Eagle, this California brood of minimalist rockers again pair ironic lyrics with spare instrumentation, à la their monotonal postmodern hit ''The Distance.'' But the sweetest moments come when frontman John McCrea breaks from the formula and extends his baritone beyond a single note, as on the harmony fueled ''Pretty Pink Ribbon'' and the yearning ''World of Two.''
