"Dull to Pause" has Modest Mouse's "Float on" vibe to it when the beat really kicks in for microbes to dance while multiplying in the biosphere. Don't get me wrong though 'cause "Dull to Pause" sonically reverberates in another realm altogether.
In comparison to 2006's So This is Goodbye, Begone Dull Care has fuller beats and happier tunes. Convulsive beats of "Hazel" fit the awkward position of Jeremy Greenspan in fathoming a girl's feelings for him.
In "Bits & Pieces", Greenspan sings "I see you better when the lights are out". Either the rods of his retina function very well or it is a metaphor whereby he further understands something or someone as they get more intricate.
There's something very groovy in Begone Dull Care such as the immaculate synth riffs of "Parallel Lines", "Bits & Pieces", "The Animator" and "Hazel". Also, brief appearances of wind instrument in "What it's For" and "Bits & Pieces" would delight listeners.
"The Animator" captures the imagination of any sort of artist while you can sing "Like a Child"'s chorus over "What it's For"'s verse.
JB will soon have some of their Begone Dull Care songs remixed.
