An album from former
Haircut One Hundred frontman
Nick Heyward is not likely to make many people's "most anticipated" list, but
From Monday To Sunday is pure, exuberant power pop with melodies to kill for, chiming, British Invasion-style guitars, and nary a synthesizer in earshot. Depending on the track, the basic rock lineup is augmented by various combinations of real live cello, mandolin, clarinet, horns, piano, and organ. A couple of numbers lapse into the whitewashed sentimentality of old. But for the most part,
Heyward delivers crisp, hummable pop songs, disposable but enjoyable.
