Move Along
About This Release
"I felt like if we were going to write something that we think is great, we had to do it now,"Ritter says, speaking about the full year he and the band took to craft the 12 songs that comprise their sophomore album. Speaking to the proverbial sophomore slump many artists fall prey to, Ritter continues,"Subconsciously, when we're feeling pressure during the writing process, we tend not to speak about it and just focus on the songs."

Their latest is chock full of songs that are strong enough to stick in your head, yet gentle enough to soundtrack an O.C. plot twist. What makes AAR stand out from the pomaded pack is their clever employment of harmonies on tracks like "Dance Inside," which are power-pop choirboy perfect, not just the constant sound of One Man Whining. They build an emo wall of sound as carefully as a teen hangs posters in his bedroom. Among the nicer flourishes: the Bay City Rollers drumbeat opening "Night Drive," the baroque strings on "Can't Take It" and the acoustic guitars on "Straitjacket Feeling." Move Along is as tried and true as jeans and Converse, the soundtrack to the imaginary John Hughes films playing inside the head of even the most hardened cynic. Don't hold it against them.
