$14.98 (list price), Pop/Rock, The Control Group Basic Story: Denmark’s most collectible figurines return with their follow-up to last year’s sleeper hit, Skeletons.
Sample: Out of the street lights/ up on the top of a hill/ I was dreaming/ my head just needed to chill/ I’ll get it together/ speak to you briefly/ and open your mind.
Verdict: There’s something very charming about the Figurines. They’re quirky and fun but still manage to be taken seriously. Their new album doesn’t stray too far from form, though there is a noticeable maturity in the songwriting. On “The Air We Breathe,” it seems as though Brian Wilson has taken over, if only for a moment. Then the band launches back into upbeat territory, where they seem most comfortable – and rightfully so.
