Planting Seeds Records are releasing the second album by pop band The Voyces, Kissing Like It's Love, on May 8th, and if they can get past the ambiguously salivary album cover, the title track should have pop-underground devotees swooning.Lead Voyce Brian Wurschum sings "You smell like every summer should/my favorite time of year/like Coppertone and firewood/how am I supposed to steer" and you can hear it coming out of top-down convertibles in July, a big summer hit in an alternate universe. The vocals and charmingly lo-fi production are highly reminiscent of early, underappreciated Matthew Sweet (it would fit snugly next to Inside's "Blue Fools" or Earth's "How Cool") and his friends and frequent collaboraters Velvet Crush. Full of familiar and satisfying hooks and changes, this is a fun, guileless pop gem that's hard to get out of your playlist.
The Voyces play the Bowery Ballroom in NYC April 28th.

I love your analysis of the Voyces' Kissing Like It's Love. I think you capture in words exactly what that song captures - in music. It is a dirty delightful delicious and monstrous work of art.
This is the first time I have heard The Voyces. A masterpiece. I'm a fan.
The "Kissing Like It's Love" video is priceless.
