The pandemic interrupted the recording of a new Decibels album so
Brent Seavers filled the time making YouTube videos of himself
covering a bevy of poprock classics (check out his fantastic cover of
Marshall Crenshaw's "You're My Favorite Waste of Time") and recording
a solo album. BS Stands for Brent Seavers sounds like The Decibels,
not surprising, but also not like them too. The solo gig has allowed
Seavers to drift a bit forward in time, from mid-1960s right up into
the new millennium indie poprock scene. Obviously there some very
Decibels material here, like "Out in the Rain," "Clean Reflection,"
and the jangle-heavy "All the Better." The band's sixties-meets-the-
1980s vibe is also there on the Smithereens-ish "Flatline" and the
muscled-up California pop hue all over "Running Me Down." But I'm
going to go out on a limb here to suggest the band haunting this
record might actually be They Might Be Giants. That Brooklyn duo's
jocular sense of musical whimsey lurks on "Unlike Superman," "Me and
My Melancholy Face," and most obviously on the fun sing-along "I Wrote
a Song." Seavers even sounds a bit like TMBG's John Linnell vocally on
the album opener, "Play." On the other hand, should-be hit single
"More Than a Friend" is Seaver's own distinctive brand of melodic
rocking out, with strong harmonies, and killer earworm chorus. This is
another total album enjoyment collection.
Ripper's Notes:
Official CD-r release straight from the label. Make sure you read
Brent's liner notes, they are a lot of fun. Read brother Dean's
notes too, of course, but, they are far less fun. Super solid record!

give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
