Lovely, sweet and catchy., March 5, 2003
Reviewer: A music fan from Boston, Massachusetts I heard this CD a couple of
weeks ago at a release party at a bar in Cambridge. Usually the music in a noisy
bar just blends into the din, but this music captured my attention.
"28 Plastic Blue Versions of Ending Without You" is the fourth release
for Boston-based band Francine. It's a dreamy, sweet album, full of catchy intros,
addictive choruses and weird sounds. The lyrics are lovely and the band is ridiculously
talented. It has an Elliott Smith/Yo La Tengo feel to it. It can serve as that
album you have on in the background while you're puttering around the house,
or the one that keeps you rapt at attention in front of your stereo.
Pay particular attention to "Fake Fireplace Things", "This Sunday's
Revival", "13 Years" and "NASCAR".
