Modern Skirts peddle a brand of pop that’s uncommon, one that blissfully recalls 70s AM pop, one that acknowledges it’s okay to make music for fun, even if it there’s no deep artistic statement of personal pain or political anger. The vast majority of the songs on Catalogue are heavy on piano and light on melodrama, the way piano best fits into pop music. There are a few tracks where Modern Skirts skitter away from what they do well, getting a little more serious and rocking, and while those aren’t *bad* songs, they are the weakest of the bunch, and keep the album from the heights it could otherwise have achieved. But generally, Catalogue of Generous Men is a rollicking good time, well worth a few spins.

Buy album
