Beulah - When Your Heartstrings Break (1999)


Super nerdy, ornate, Beach Boys-worshipping E6-associated power pop. You can practically hear the vocalist pushing the bridge of his thick-framed glasses up the ridge of his nose with his index finger before singing every verse. Embellished by French horns, phased synths, xylophone, and other 90s indie favorites. "Emma Blowgun's Last Stand" surely deserves a place on your "Indie Rock's Greatest Hits" playlist.

Track listing:
1. Score from Augusta
2. Sunday Under Glass
3. Matter Vs. Space
4. Emma Blowgun's Last Stand
5. Calm Go the Wild Seas
6. Ballad of the Lonely Argonaut
7. Comrade's Twenty-Sixth
8. The Aristocratic Swells
9. Silverado Days
10. Warmer
11. If We Can Land a Man on the Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart

Let's see the sights!
