It’s true you might find some commonalities between this outfit and the Velvet Underground, but Morning Spy (don’t worry) isn’t the second coming of the Velvets. Instead it’s a fascinating band of its own that makes music you can listen to while staring at your shoes or racing down to the bottom of a bottle of wine. Jon Rooney gives some fascinating vocal performances, particularly on the strangely hooky “Sugar Witch,” while Allison Goffman adds an unexpected charm with “Honeysuckle Baby” and “Foggy Filter.” The closing instrumental “The Slow March To Salt-White Sleep” is, like the rest of this, dreamy. – Jedd Beaudoin
