Autoparty - Lumlight

I got the Autoparty (comprised of Baskerville singer/guitarist Rob Keith and bassist Christoph Gerozissis) debut, Lumlight, from Liz one balmy afternoon, and I was pretty excited. New music is something like new sneakers; you have to put them on immediately and bounce around for a while. Unfortunately, not all sneakers have great bouncy properties, and likewise, some new music just leaves you feeling flat. I have to confess that this genre, call it Electropsychedelia LaptopPopDiscoNoir all you like, is just not my bag, baby. In fact, I'd have to say that the more contrived a name is given to something, the more contrived that something generally turns out to be...and I'm not sure I've ever known a case where being more contrived translated to something positive.
