Aqueduct

Label: Barsuk
Genre: Pop

Best start off your introduction to Aqueduct with the thrift store gangsta stance of "Hardcore Days, Softcore Nights," just so you know not to mess with frontman Dave Terry. Sure, it's wry bedroom pop on the surface, but I think he's only half-joking about "pulling heat" if you ask him where he's from (Tulsa, by the way, which might explain the defensiveness). But the fun only begins there... Song to song, Terry recalls any of the nerd-music-for-the-masses elite — from Ben Folds (without the Elton John fixation) to Ben Gibbard (after a few sleepless nights) — though he's well on his way to earning his own seat at the table. At least that's what I'd say to his face, lest I get on his bad side.
