Two tasty slices of powerpop from this Texas singer/songwriter that echo the likes of Apples in Stereo or late sixties psych pop, only grunged up a bit. “Tattoo” fits that groove exactly while “Vivian” is rather fluffier in comparison being closer to the likes of peak period Marshall Crenshaw. I suppose that you could say that Sean Russell keeps to old fashioned values in his music with verses, choruses and melody and that makes perfect sense to me.
