Jeremy Bolen provides vocals for c.u. c.u. and his breathy sing-talking is a lot like Duli in low sans cigarettes and inuendo. Sadly Jeremy has no high. I'm getting this out of the way now because it's impossible not to address - the guy needs to sing these songs and he simply doesn't. With improved vocals this album shoots up to a solid 8 in my book. It's got all the hallmarks of today's digitally tinged indie rock done right; emotive guitars, lots of energy from the drum kit, inventive breaks and musical swells with smart sounding lyrics... just no one to deliver them in a convincing manner. Sorry Mr. Bolen. Awesome title, though.
