Universe Narrows - What Makes a Weed? (Independently released CD, Pop)

Simple, direct, hummable pop tunes from the father/son duo of JJ and Mark O'Connor. What Makes a Weed? is refreshing in many ways, not the least of which is these guys' ability to write genuine songs with lyrics that most people should be able to relate to. Instead of creating super weird and artsy underground pop, JJ and Mark record pop tunes that are remarkably normal sounding. The songs are presented simply using traditional instruments. You can tell by the sounds on this album that these guys had a good time recording these compositions. Nice, smooth, fluid cuts include "Stickball," "Spinach Green Eyes," "Lost and Found," and "Looking Through a Pane." Sincere, thoughtful, real music. (Rating: 5)
