Blueboy may very well be the gentlest band in the history of indie pop. Rather than hacking out shambling pop like some of their labelmates on Sarah Records, they deal in jazzy acoustic guitars, melodramatic strings, tinkling pianos, and some of the most affectedly sweet vocals to be found anywhere -- the closest available comparison would be the baroque pop of Shelleyan Orphan. It would be easy to dismiss Unisex as overly fussy easy listening, but surprisingly, the album is incredibly well-written, and a pleasant listen throughout. After a while, their style doesnt seem as bland and conventional as it does at first -- theyve taken pop to such an extreme that they sound completely unlike any other band. ~ Nitsuh Abebe
