The Needles The Space
Straylight Run
Released:
Jun 2007
Label:
Universal
Saying their "girl singer" is what sets Straylight Run apart in the
emo/pop-punk crowd might seem kind of simplistic. But in that theatre of
sensitive, tortured testosterone, Michelle Nolan's sultry vocals are a
breath of fresh air -- especially in the idiosyncratic worlds her songwriter
brother John builds for her and the band. The glockenspiel and accordion on
"The Words We Say" or the circus instrumentation and shifting meters on "The
Miracle That Never Came" make for cute and quirky tracks. But it's the
siblings' pretty harmonies, not to mention their piano skills, that ground
the album.
