PS I Love You, Figure It Out—A Collection of EPs and Singles by PS I Love You
I met up with this as a free full-album stream on the PS I Love You Facebook page (For Facebook, shouldn’t they be PS I “Like” You?). Perhaps it’s still there. If not, a vinyl version is due imminently. The comp contains rarities and early versions of not-so-rarities. It’s a remarkably consistent listen for a seeming scattered set of previously released things. (One of the jauntier tunes is actually called “Scattered.”) Even the rhythms and the harmony attitudes line up pretty neatly, and the occasional lumbering slow tunes like “Actually (I Am a Monster)” don’t really impede the momentum. By the end, with raucous work-outs such as “Where’s the Party?,” the band has shown a range and flair grander than on any single one of their other recordings.
