LimeWire Store Review

Al reviews As Neat As A New Pin for the LimeWire Store.

This duo delivers quirky rock in spades. It’s mostly done with preciously clever irony, dramatic crescendos, and stringed instruments, although the unexpected bass synth on “Portia I Dreamt You Were A Princess” is definitely a high point. Playing off elaborate chimes, this singular synth is not only a welcome relief after an album of violins and meticulously produced acoustics. It’s also nice that, after an album of constantly reminding the listener they’re joking, the Empty Set actually make a joke.

I’m not sure if we were joking. Is it good to be joking? If it is, I was definitely joking.

Thanks Al!
