Album Review: Modern Baseball - You're Gonna Miss It All

Contrary to the misguiding bubblegum melodies and twinkly guitar tones, Modern Baseball's tightly produced follow-up to their 2012 record Sport is not a beacon for positivity, but rather, a brightly-decorated pit of despair. It's that very juxtaposition (which, too, manifests itself in the woe-is-me lyrical content relayed with such an endearing nonchalance) that makes You're Gonna Miss It All as charming as it is. Through light-hearted wit and deadpan, honest storytelling, Brendan Lukens shares with us all his neuroticism, frustration and sadness. What results is both tasteful and completely lovable.
