Album Review

Quintessential Beat Happening (not to mention the first release in frontman Calvin Johnson and K Records' long-running and influential International Pop Underground singles series). Both "Look Around" and its flip side, "That Girl," sharply contrast the simplicity of their three-chord music with the messy complexity of their lovelorn lyrics, exploring the love-hate frisson of unrequited romance in unflinching yet tender detail.
