Michael Gross just gets better and better. In another lifetime he held down guitar and vocal duties in The Brobecks before breaking away with Let’s Become Actors. And while both projects left a trail of memorable songs, Gross wanted to write material that better reflects his creative sensibilities. With the Statuettes—version 2.0 includes James Kelley, Benjamin Johnson and Matt Glass (who, by the way, takes amazing photographs)—he’s crafted a tight little album whose appeal is instant and lasting. Dust & Daylight adds a bit of twang to the group’s signature pop, which carries a slightly uneasy tone beneath the jingle-jangle flow. The six-track EP is flawlessly produced with instrumentation that downright shimmers around Gross’ heartthrob delivery. Wow. This is fast becoming one of our favorite jams.
