Truth in Sincerity

by Amber Pacific

Overview

The opening instrumental "Rule #76" doesn't bode well for Amber Pacific's second album; its epic keyboard swells forecast a self-important faux maturity of the type that's usually the death of a pop band. However, that leaves directly into the catchy pop-punk of "Summer (In B)" and the ultra-bouncy positivity of "Temporary," so Amber Pacific clearly haven't yet fallen into that particular trap. Overall, in fact, Truth in Sincerity is as straightforward a pop-emo album as The Possibility and the Promise, with the same unfailingly posi vibe in Matt Young's lyrics. ~ Stewart Mason
