Pernice Brothers

For more than five years now, the pretty damn reliable Joe Pernice has hidden his
melancholia in country-tinged pop rock. Pernice Brothers' follow-up to 2005's Discover a
Lovelier You is another lovely little package, tossing in modest horns-and-strings
accompaniment and mellow sweetness on songs like "Microscopic View" and "Grudge F***
(2006)," a track that's way more plaintive than angry.
