It's getting cold outside, football ends soon, and there is no better way to escape the winter blues than by listening to songs about the summer, the coast, and playing drums in a band. Listen to Coconut Records' Davy for your summer fix. Coconut Records is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist/actor Jason Schwartsman (Rushmore, I ♥ Huckabees), who consistently writes about the supreme charm, glamour and lonliness of the west coast (check out "West Coast" and "Nighttiming" from CR's debut album, Nighttiming). Davy is the Beach Boys without their wall of sound, Weezer without big guitars, and is dominated by Schwartsman's obvious admiration for Beatles melodies. The album is well-balanced, as the catchy brighter songs ("Wires," "Drummer," "Microphone," "Any Fun") are scattered between the wistful and remorseful ones ("Courtyard," "I Am Young," "Is This Sound Okay?"). Davy will be a good glimpse of California sunshine for your collection.
