The Stranger

Seattle bands Throw Me the Statue, Telekinesis, and Say Hi have all released good-to-fucking-great indie-rock records in the last year or so. Throw Me the Statue's Moonbeams is a bedroom-pop masterpiece full of precisely illustrative lyricism, deft instrumentation, and terribly catchy melodies, and Say Hi's Oohs & Aahs is a winning realization of the band's sometimes too-precious songwriting quirks. Telekinesis, the drummer-led project of Michael Benjamin Lerner, is the newest of the bunch; his self-titled, Chris Walla–produced debut is a fine collection of sunny, classicist pop rock.
