Shepherd Express: "A magnificent tribute to the smart pop of Benign's era"

The Shepherd Express' review of "Here's How It Works" is in. Among other things, editor Dave Luhrssen says this about the album:

"Here’s How it Works is a magnificent tribute to the smart pop of Benign’s era—The Beatles as distilled through Squeeze and Crowded House with a twist of Elvis Costello for tartness. Loss and resignation suffuse the lyrics: imagine looking into the once inexhaustible storehouse of time and finding it more than half empty."
