Hospitality - Hospitality (Merge, 2012)

Rating: 6.5 empty attics out of 10

Hospitality, from New York, twee pop, comparisons to Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura, yadda yadda yadda.  Sometimes these things write themselves.  Though I will say there is a slight jazzy/Sea & Cake vibe to Hospitality that sets them apart from their comparisons just slightly, but not by much.  I'm not sure there is enough exciting music going on here to get too wound up over this release, but at the same times it seems impossible that you wouldn't at least find this an enjoyable listen.  Sometimes a pleasant pop record is all you need, and this is plenty pleasant.
