44 Long
's third album, frontman
Brian Berg
continues to evolve as both a songwriter and a musician, blending elements of
Americana
,
indie rock
, and classic AM radio fare with strong results. Listeners of
Hangover Heights, Pt. 2
will have a hard time dismissing the Portland, Oregon native's trio, as evidenced by winners like the rollicking
"Please Don't Love Me Now,"
the weighty
"God Again,"
and the memorable attitude-driven
"You Let Them Win."
Augmented by guitarist/bassist
Andy Ricker
and drummer
Cory Burden
's third is a perfect fit for fans of fractured
pop
and well-worth hunting down. ~ John D. Luerssen
