About
“Nobody Could Change Your Mind” opens up <i>Con Law</i> with a peppy, Beach Boys-meets-Joe Meek brand of ‘60s pop, a bubbly track dotted with blaring trumpets and echoey, space-age keyboards. The distinct, shimmying rhythm of the song is punctured by an <i>Abbey Road</i>-era Beatlesque blast of guitar, and for a brief moment we pass from 1964 to the precipice of the ‘70s. Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer use a variety of keyboards, layered vocals, simple guitars and crackling percussion to make music that is perfectly in tune with today’s appetites for indie pop, which doesn’t necessarily mean sugary or shallow (think Death Cab for Cutie or the Shins). “Angry Charlie” has a dark melancholy woven into the airy vocal melody and handclaps, the buoyant “Exterior Street Day” is fueled by barbed, sharp-tongued lyrics, and a brooding, New Order aesthetic propels the dance-floor rhythms of “These Habits.” “When They Fight, They Fight,” is a glorious, inspired girl-group tribute to the art of the lover’s quarrel that lifts from the very best of Phil Spector and the ‘60s. <i>Con Law</i> is a revelation.
