Velvet Crush's second album is an old-fashioned pop record: 12 songs in 40 minutes, filled with ultra-melodic guitar hooks and simple, memorable melodies. While it's traditional in form, the music on Teenage Symphonies to God isn't retro. Velvet Crush manage to inject a real enthusiasm and freshness in the standard three-minute pop song, whether they're playing originals that sound like forgotten classics (&Time Wraps Around You,& &This Life is Killing Me,& &My Blank Pages,& &Hold Me Up&) or forgotten classics themselves (Gene Clark's &Why Not Your Baby& and Matthew Sweet's &Something's Gotta Give&). With a crisp, warm production from Mitch Easter, Teenage Symphonies to God is one record that deserves to take its title from Brian Wilson.
