Son Ambulance’s third album opens with a samba-influenced memory of the sixties and Simon & Garfunkel-esque vocals while the next two songs could’ve been on any Air album. Yup, this is music for all the nostalgia lovers and melancholic hearts out there!
Belle & Sebastian, Bright Eyes, sixties tropicalia,… it’s all there on “Someone Else’s Déjà Vu” somewhere and it does sound pretty good most of the time. Nothing earthshattering but still worth more than a lukewarm ‘meh’ which is followed by a barely noticeable shrug of the shoulders.
Too bad they occasionally feel the need to drag songs out for over 6 minutes. Hey, at least they ditched the pianos this time around so that I didn’t have to mention the name Ben Folds again. Oh wait, I just did!
Score: 6.5 out of 10
