Review

Spin (p.122) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "THE BROKEN STRING pares down the track list and polishes the best of the EPs..."
Uncut (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey bust out their best Clash and Cheap Trick moves on 'Middle Management', gleefully shattering the porcelain into smithereens."
CMJ (p.38) - "The band's mainstays -- hooky guitar lines, handclaps, slapped-at piano keys, bright brass, lyrics about searching twenty-somethings -- are still present."

Title Note

Personnel: Darbie Nowatka (vocals); Christian Rudder, Justin Rice (various instruments); Kristin Ferebee, Allan Vest (strings); Jon Natchez (clarinet); Kelly Pratt (trumpet); Chad Copelin (Hammond b-3 organ); Jarod Evans (bass guitar); Cully Symington (drums); Andy Herod (background vocals).

Named after a street in Cambridge, Massachusetts's Central Square but based in Brooklyn, Bishop Allen make their northeastern loyalties plain in their lyrics (anyone who lives in either city will immediately recognize the subject of "The Chinatown Bus"), but their music is a sweeping, Anglophile form of chamber pop. Collecting 10 of the best songs from an ambitious 2006 project that saw the band record and release a full EP every month, THE BROKEN STRING is imaginative, varied, and filled with smart pop hooks.
