(The album zips by, with almost no tracks clocking in at over 3 1\/2 minutes.) Brenneck says that practicing in his Bushwick bedroom has made the group the unofficial house band of his street, and you can feel why on tunes like \"Home Again!\" and the prickly \"The Traitor.\" (On the other side of that, the swaying 'Karina\" and shuffling \"Birds\" may take one elsewhere.) Simply put, MSB brims with the kind of soul we could all use more of nowadays. And: watch out for the hidden track. 11 tracks; 36 minutes.
