Don Lennon (ex-Umpteens, aka the 'Endless Upteens') and Brian Marchese (School for the Dead, Sitting Next to Brian) phone it in from Northampton, MA. Like fellow Boston ex-pat Jonathan Richman, Don's tunes are blessed with irrepressible hum-ability, wonderful simplicity, and understated genius. That he isn't world famous like Jens Lekman (though he has toured Australia with Youth Group and Darren Hanlon) is nothing short of criminal; both share sonorous voices, and the ability to make you laugh and cry within the same song, if not the same verse.
