  • Summary: This is the debut album for the New York indie band led by Fred Thomas.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 7
  2. Negative: 0 out of 7
  1. After making a million songs only a couple people have heard, it’s understandable for Thomas to harbor a little insecurity. He captures this brilliantly though in his work with City Center, and perhaps you can help him out by giving his densely-populated-yet-naked, dark-yet-glowing latest a spin.
  2. There's almost a subversive aspect to how City Center doesn't play to Thomas' known strengths, but the risk pays off: City Center adds another fascinating dimension to his music.
  3. For an established pop writer like Thomas this sort of effort is long overdue, a necessary rung on the twisted, misdirecting ladder towards writing one of those singular, inexplicable albums.
  4. As a debut full-length, City Center shows much promise and can rightly provide the soundtrack to a strange summer.
