LP in Focus: 'Leave it to the Kids' by Bus Stop Poets

Ever woken up on an extremely dull Tuesday and felt like doing nothing? Early-in-the-week blues showing in like clouds upon the hilltop? The lively, yet somewhat gently rustic, country oriented pop music by the Bus Stop Poets might just brighten your day - gently lifting your senses through a realm of what you can call sunshine pop (Remember The Beach boys, people?) 

The LP is going to release on July 26th and is constituted out of ten songs:-

1. You Won't Miss Me
2. Better 
3. Blow
4. Pop Your Top
5. Dance All Night 
6. Leave it to the Kids
7. Don't Call Me Criminal 
8. Tractor Song
9. Cool4U
10. You Won't Miss Me (There) 

What is ultimately satisfying about the collection is that the songs are arranged in a way that the pungent, strong pop vibes are juxtaposed by the softer, more melodious, Fleetwood Mac vibes before sounding even a tad bit monotonous. Songs like 'Dance All Night' and 'Don't Call Me Criminal' even contain such a juxtaposition in them! 'Cool4U' is a level apart and both 'Better' and 'You Won't Miss Me (There)' are pure beauty. 

'Blow' has been released as a single, and finds them channeling their inner Aussie with a sound The Vinyl District described as "Crosby, Stills and Nash (Down Under)...with a lilting narrative quality that conjures up mid-70s Eagles." The band has synced tunes in big commercial spots for Chevy as well as multiple episodes of Showtime’s Shameless.




The songs have an element of true motion in them, and leaves a cognitive vibe inside you once you are done listening. And even though the poets are making pop music, and hail from Detroit (one big, huge plus here!) - they surely are not making 21st century, conventional, prototype and design oriented, market endorsing, boring music. Their music is innovative, original, co-ordinated and leaves a ringing sweetness to the ears that is possible only for musicians who own their own music in the truest sense of the term. 

On a more joyous note, you can dance to some of their more lively, pretty tunes and they most certainly make a very sweet yet passionate impression - something that makes you reach out for their music even more. The poets have also successfully created better songs than poetry - and the entirety, the wholeness of songs is what pertains after you have experienced the journey of perception once you listen to their music. 

Despite the rhythm that is so attractive and a major part of their music, there is also something very tranquil even about their live performances. 

Fans of hard rock, country, country rock, country pop, sunshine pop, R&B and particularly Fleetwood Mac should definitely lend the poets' work a keen ear. You wouldn't be dissatisfied!
