Torrent description

The most memorable line of the hit single \"Sweet and Low\" from Augustana\'s sophomore set, Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt, goes like this: \"Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl.\" What that means is anybody’s guess. But on a record this rich with tenderness, it hardly matters. Front man Dan Layus and company have come a long way since 2005\'s All The Stars and Boulevards: this go-round, the piano\'s the thing, and it complements ballads like the heartsick \"Twenty Years\" and \"Fire\"--as gorgeous a lament as it gets on a record by a band of 20-something dudes--beautifully. In addition to tweaking the music, Layus seems to have made a commitment to laying off the whining; the dab of youthful shrillness that worked its way into \"Boston,\" the 2006 hit that put the band on the map, has been put aside in favor of a near-whisper on tracks like \"Dust,\" a sexy slow rocker that carries a whiff of Neil Young. If there’s a quibble here, it\'s that Augustana held back not on quality (Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt’s production is so bright it practically gleams), but on quantity: at 10 tracks, the album that launched \"Sweet and Low\" is overly short and sweet. --Tammy La Gorce
