The Love Language is at Czar on Saturday

Don’t sleep on the new Love Language album, Ruby Red. It’s full of gorgeous, heady baroque-rock songs with the kind of melodies you can really cozy up to. Among other influences, I’m hearing Broken Social Scene, Burt Bacharach, Peter Bjorn and John, and John Hughes soundtracks. That mélange could easily come across as scattershot and uneven over the course of an album (or a song), but the Love Language is making it all cohere pretty expertly. These are my joints right here and here.

Saturday, August 31, at Czar. With the Empty Spaces and Schwervon
