Formed after the 1997 breakup of singer/songwriter Joe Pernice's alt-country group the Scud Mountain Boys, the Pernice Brothers did an about-face from the lush '70s country sound of their final album, Massachusetts, and came up with the lush orchestrated pop of 1998's Overcome By Happiness.

Modern Music Review
Today i'll write a few words about a really good album.As you remember,i mentioned about that great pop underground bands like Teenage Funclub,Posies and god of them The Big Star.Here is another excellent band The Pernice Brothers.Melody in music is one the important thing,you admire to a song because of its little magicful melody.Pernice Brothers' 2006 release "Live a Little" unblemished voice is the key instrument,limpid pop melodies which are also friend with indie rock tunes.Little bells,little light explodes are really impressive and a permanent listening.The Clear tunes are imposible to forget (Somerville,Zero REffils).Flattering words i know but it isn't a lie to say this record deserves it.
Lyrically, it's another masterpiece but vocals,guitars,compositions..All safe.You can even control the playlist it's playing so softly maybe sometimes cranky and it recalls Morrissey style vocals,Beach Boys style orchestral backround tunes but it really worth to hear these melodies (How Can I Compare).All great,all melodic.
MM picks:Somerville, Zero Refills
Listen:Automaton (...), High As A Kite (...)
