Easily digestible melodies laced with Ric Ocasek-esque economy are Sennett\u2019s stock-in-trade, and whether you\u2019re lying in your hammock listening to the moonbeam tones of \u201cBorn to Love You,\u201d the upbeat tempo of \u201cLook at Me Now,\u201d or the delicate strains of \u201cJailbird,\u201d you\u2019ll feel the warmth of the sun even if you aren\u2019t working on your tan. Sennett\u2019s vocals are humid and hazy, and even when he\u2019s in a castigating, critical mood, as he is on \u201cGo for the Throat,\u201d the vibe is anything but antagonistic. This is pure pop for pool people. \u2013Nick Krewen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE ELECTED Bury Me in My Rings [Vagrant] Five years after its sophomore album, Rilo Kiley co-founder Blake Sennett and his band the Elected are back with more simple, summery sounds.
