For more than a decade, this Brooklyn band has
been one of indie rock s best-kept secrets, but its sixth album may

year and signed them to his new record label. Modest Mouse fans will
find much to admire here. Singer-songwriter Sam Jayne has an affection
for classic rock and a great sense of whimsy about it. The title track
hitches a melody from Sly and the Family Stone s Everybody Is a Star

he sings. I heard that demons don t hit the beach. Jayne also shares
Stephen Malkmus knack for ragged guitars, rigorous songcraft and
pleasantly puzzling lyrics. On All Parts of Me, skittering
Afro-pop-flavored verses give way to cresting choruses, with Jayne
singing inspired bursts of doggerel: Top of the holly-jolly, my holy
collar is falling off. He doesn t shy from the big subjects — love,
death, immortality — but any hint of bombast is undercut by woozy
humor. In Coconut Fakes, he comforts a friend: We re gonna get
stoned with you/And laugh at your mistakes. That promise could be the
band s motto.
