St. Louis Magazine on “Fully Attractive”
From The Painkillers to The Finns to Ludo, St. Louis has had a great, if sometimes closeted, power-pop tradition. Tight Pants Syndrome embrace that legacy in a ready-for-radio album called Fully Attractive, which is so bold and catchy that I’m shocked Tight Pants haven’t been on the cover of a magazine (didn’t they fit?). If anything, Fully Attractive sounds like a more adventurous New Pornographers album (I would be surprised if they’re not a major influence), but the ’60s pop jangle and nods to groups like the Association keep them deeper in genre specifics. And it keeps them on my CD player (no, I haven’t gone iPod yet)…
