Anhedonia is a litany of guitar rock that spirals from a boiling pot of crackling wah-wah and razor-sharp synthesizers (track 1, You’re Alright My Hopeless Life) to a self-reflective whisper floating on temperate strumming, gentle delays, and cascading melodies (track 5, No One). Motion Picture offers an addictive serving of rock/pop that preaches Blur and Elvis Costello from the podium but is ultimately remembered for its fresh voice and distinctive singing. The lyrics are sharp and heartfelt, with a self-realized text that allows the singer to build himself up only to tear everything down again. The result is a “Cinematic-like listening experience,” according to CDBaby.com.
