| | Central Services CD (2006)
 $15.19 
Seattle by way of Connecticut quintet Central Services belong to the latter strain, alongside contemporaries like the Belle & Sebastian-like Math and Physics Club, with whom they share lead singer and primary songwriter Kevin Emerson. Squeeze fans may be particularly impressed, since Emerson's boyish tenor bears a striking vocal resemblance to Glenn Tilbrook, especially on the winsome "Tear Me Down." Other highlights include "She Was My Ride," which with its quirky lyrics, Todd Rundgren-like arrangement, quavering lead vocals, and Kinks-inspired "la la la" harmonies sounds remarkably like '90s cult favorites June & the Exit Wounds; the dreamily romantic shuffle "Song '89"; and the sparkling pop/rocker "4 Letter Word." Central Services isn't likely to break out of the underground power pop scene, but its quiet charms mark it as the sort of album that's due for future lost-gem status among those in the know. Though the Pacific Northwest has always been associated with the heavier end of rock & roll since the days of the Kingsmen and the Sonics, the area has also maintained a strong line in sweeter sounds, from the proto-twee vocal trio the Fleetwoods to the Posies, who released the Hollies-inspired Dear 23 at the height of grunge fever. ~ Stewart Mason
Central Services is from Seattle. (Emerson's just the drummer in the other band, however.) Central Services are a power pop lover's dream: their debut full-length features ten hook-filled tunes laden with sweet high-register harmonies, jangly guitars, piano, hand percussion, occasional strings, and other totems of bands whose musical bloodlines can be traced directly back to the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
