Baskervilles
Twilight
2008 » Secret Crush
Harlem singer-songwriter (and former Tampa scene guy) Rob Keith's Baskervilles have become something of an attraction in underground power-pop circles. It's easy to see why; second proper full-length Twilight – produced by pop legend Mitch Easter – is a solid, well-crafted collection of tunes, equal parts shadowy old wave and timeless, summery pop. There's no arguing with co-vocalist Stephanie Finucane's irresistible melody hooks in “Smash,” or the horn-softened Goth urgency of “Everybody Looks Not Everybody Finds,” or anything here, really. Supremely confident in its own shoes, this group has found its own wholly wrought and nicely balanced sound, and a vibe that's both fun without being too shticky and familiar without coming off as hackneyed.
