Jim Noir - Tower of Love

Tower of Love is “psychedelic pop,” it is extremely reminiscent of The Beatles, The Kinks, The Beach Boys. If you don’t give my football back, I’m going to tell my dad on you. Despite being released in early 2006, on Valentine’s Day no less, this music often seems dated; it’s a novelty record. And it is unfortunate for such a thing to occur, Jim Noir, master of irony, has a clear ear for melody. The tunes on this album are all quite catchy, in a pop sense, but are all ultimately too light-hearted to be taken seriously; to last. There are a couple of tracks which, in my ever humbling opinion, stand above this novelty act. One of these is the album’s closer, The Only Way, which feels heartfelt and genuine, something noticeably lacking from much of the album. Eanie meany, run away. Eanie meany run away. I would recommend this album to anyone looking for something light to put on while concentrating on something else.
