    Even when they're smiling sweetly and rubbing sleep from their eyes, Felice and crew know how to come on larger than life.

    Felice is bedeviled by an unspecified sadness and longing, and that only adds to the resonance of well-constructed songs that will appeal to triple-A radio in the U.S., now that his band finally has gotten a purchase on its homeground.

    This is a really pleasing album. Just don't listen too hard to the words.
