Indie pop/rock done right. How refreshing. As this album
plays on, it becomes more and more evident that The Emergency
has clued into something awesome. This has a rock star
infectiousness like that of Cheap Trick, but combines it with a
lo-fi abandon more akin to Pavement and Guided By Voices.
How Can You Move? has a few truly inspired moments - the
brilliant "Cracked Up" and the sweetly appealing "All
Over Town" rank among the best - but the key to the record is its
consistent success; every one of these songs has a melody worth
listening to over and over again. For a pop fan just looking to
sit back and enjoy the music, The Emergency fits the bill
without question.
