“They’re alright these new fangled pop stars, if you like shouting,
but let’s face it, most of them couldn’t string a sentence together.
Which explains why it’s very easy to become evangelical about Boston’s
Don Lennon. ‘Downtown’, his third album, finds him roving far and wide,
not to mention pithy and funny, through such varied subjects as the
moral implications of pretending to like the Dave Matthews Band, gay
nightlife and irritating foreign exchange students. What’s more, Lennon
drops such wisdom atop a spring-loaded indie-guitar sound that could
hold its own against The Go Betweens, Belle & Sebastian and early
Smiths, in 30 minutes and 44 seconds of understated genius.”
-Tony Naylor, NME on Downtown
