Such is the case with California singer- songwriter Matt Costa, who borrows from those who borrowed on his engaging new album, “Santa Rosa Fangs.” The music’s reminiscent of such pioneers as the Byrds, Phil Spector and Nick Drake, but also Oasis, World Party and the Polyphonic Spree. “It’s time, time, time playing tricks on my mind,” Costa sings as he distills half a century of predecessors into a potent pop pastiche. It helps that “Santa Rosa Fangs” is filled with fetching melodies. There are also hooks galore, from the choir of Costas singing on the piano-pounding title cut to the repetition of the protagonist’s name in “Sharon.” Even the tambourines are catchy. And Costa’s off-kilter touches ensure the songs don’t become too sugary. He drops a bar here and there on the aptly named “Time Tricks,” and uses a 5/4 meter effectively on the dreamy “Real Love.” Best is “Ritchie,” a Shangri-La’s-style love tragedy times two, and part of an album-long narrative about love, loss, time and distance. The plot’s thinner than Mick Jagger, but the tug of the past comes through with every note.” - Associated Press/Washington Post, May 15 2018 AllMusic gives high praise to the new Family Of The Year album “The Los Angeles-based indie folk-pop quartet’s third full-length effort, Goodbye Sunshine, Hello Nighttime arrives after a three-year period of personal upheaval that saw the passing of co-found- ers Joe and Sebastian Keefe’s mother and a breakdown in communication between the group members. Luckily, Family of the Year were able to spin that tumult into another fine collection of hazy aural gold, delivering a sweet, sad, and largely effortless-sounding 12-song set that caters to their collective talent for pure pop craftsmanship. The title is taken from the coda of opener “Let Her Go,” a heartfelt lament that’s as warm as it is mired in grief, and is one of several cuts that rely on the quartet’s sugary harmonies and predilection toward late-afternoon, ‘70s-inspired midtempo musing -- a pair of stripped-down mid-LP meditations, “Numb” and “Two Kids,” are among the most vulnerable songs that the band has produced to date. The light synth-funk of the Foster the People-esque “Hold Me Down” offers up a nice counterpoint, as does the sweeping, Brit-poppy “The Coast,” both of which see the group pushing into less familiar, though still decidedly retro, sonic realms. Even at their most distraught -- the aptly named “Bitter Mind,” the elegiac “Where Was I” -- Family of the Year manage to convey a sort of washed-out amiability that pairs well with their ardor for Pacific Coast balladry -- they’re not quite the Eagles, but they know that achieving a “Peaceful Easy Feeling” is the end goal. Goodbye Sunshine, Hello Nighttime works because it feels both immaculate and homespun. It’s soft rock in a hard place, and very human in its need to be simultaneously entertaining and therapeutic.” - AllMusic Coming up for adds on June 4: Ben Howard “Nica Libres At Dusk” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 5/23/2018
