Lunchbox changed their name to Birds Of California, and then decided they wanted to revert back to Lunchbox again. If you’re into good ol’ pop with a pinch of bubblegum rock, you’ll want to pick up a box of their candy right now, which is called Lunchbox Loves You (Jigsaw). The songs sound like innocent-yet-direct pop rock, the type your parents may have listened to, if not your grandparents, and while that may sound like a snappy joke, it isn’t. Take to heart the music of Big Star, The Monkees, Sleater-Kinney, and The Fastbacks, and throw in a daring Velvet Underground tendency and you’ll get what Lunchbox are trying to envelope themsleves in: hints of the good stuff and a layer of darkness they want to throw in when no one is paying attention. Except you, you get it.
