More Info Following the outpouring ofove around the documentary, Big Star: Nothing CanHurt Me, Jody reached out to his longtime friend, producer and songwriterLutherRussell to join him for some promotional appearances. A comfortability on stagebecame a kinship in the studio andeventually led to two albums as Those PrettyWrongs. The comfort between the duo is key to what makes Those PrettyWrongswork. Luther and Jody bounce ideas off of one another with the kind ofnatural symbiosis that all bands shoot to achieve.Heading into their third album,the band found themselves a new haven in the rising California outpost ofCosmic Americana,Roots, and Power Pop: Curation Records. Following thereissue of their two previous albums by the label in May, Holiday CampfndsThose Pretty Wrongs crafting a record that's autumnal, searching for solace, andyet unsettled. The title is a nod toboth wistful summers at bygone Britishinstitutions, the favored gig fodder for their '60s heroes, and the moresinisterimplications of Tommy's Holiday Camp -- communal, but with a cost.There's a promise of hope in that turn of phrase, butthere's a slightly darkundercurrent peeking out behind the wallpaper. Those cracks break through mostprominently on thesimmering frustrations of "Scream," and the disheartenedpleas of "Paper Cup."Holiday Camp fnds more than a few friends turning up tolace songs with their contributions. Recorded from their own homestudios, stringarrangements from Chris Stamey, moog from Wilco's Patrick Sansone, andglockenspiel from Mitch Easter allbolster the record's mercurial grace. Thephysical distance does little to dampen the sense of communal ease that holdstightat the album's core.With shades of home-grown Memphis power pop, nodsto Apple Records alums, and an appeal that trickles down to fans ofopen-heartedpop from Emmit Rhodes to The Elephant 6, Those Pretty Wrongs draw the listenerinto an environment that'sfamiliar and fragrant. Luther's arrangements have atimeless temperance that wraps around the listener.
