The Milquetoast Manual by Carpal Tullar
In case you didn’t figure it out by the goofy name, Carpal Tullar (aka Chris Tullar) is not someone you should take seriously. But that won’t stop you from enjoying this crazily weird rleease, an album that makes up for the ridiculous subject matter with stunnignly beautiful and catchy classic pop.
Underneath the wackiness there are traces of the genius of The Beatles and Brian Wilson, an absolute apperciation of pop structure and harmony that only a true talent can produce. My favorite track is Planets, a song that could easily translate into one of those deceptivley educational School House Rock vignettes from the 70s.
