“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.”
