Going Steady With Life But Never Making Out Best Of 2009
Roy includes As Neat As A New Pin in his ‘Top Albums Of 2009’. From his other picks he clearly has excellent taste so we’re sincerely flattered.
These guys are a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m a huge fan of that genre deridingly known as “twee pop,” as probably best demonstrated by auteurs Belle and Sebastian. The Emptyset filled my twee pop fix this year, as B&S’s “project” God Help the Girl sorely disappointed me. The Emptyset are perfect for those dateless weekends when feeling sorry for yourself is cathartic rather than pathetic.
Thanks Roy!
