Pop And Circumstance

Description

The pillars of Oakland, California, Lunchbox, are back with "Pop and Circumstance," an explosive new album that draws inspiration from influences on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its obvious debt to the hard end of the British mod revival of the 1970s and the jangle of 1980s British indie pop, the record proclaims Lunchbox's ongoing allegiance to the 1960s/70s Southern California pop sensibility and its love for classic AM radio pop singles. From the bubblegum mod pop of "Dinner for Two" to the patchwork soul of "Love for Free," through the Who-adjacent power pop of "Summer's Calling" and the brass grooves of "Is this Real?", "Pop and Circumstance" transposes Lunchbox's unique blend of influences into a new transcendent tone.
