Six Months to Live - This Is What Happens
Self-released
By Cory Casciato. Nov 3, 2009
It's a shame that Six Months to Live's time is up (their final show, a
CD release for this album, is Saturday, November 14), since this disc
shows them reaching a new level of polish. The group's sound has
evolved to something like Beulah laced with a more cynical They Might Be Giants and a touch of Wilco, which is not a bad place to wind up.
That style lets the strong songwriting take the forefront, resulting in
a solid batch of weird yet appealing pop tunes with a touch of humor.
Standouts include the catchy spazz-pop strains of "Knock Three Times"
and "Cool Kids,"
the faux-'70s smooth rock of "Sole Operator," and the purported closer,
"Welcome Home," which really ramps up the Wilco references.
