The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness are a duo formed by Andrew Taylor (Edinburgh), a member of the cult band Dropkick and Gonzalo Marcos (Madrid), from a Spanish indie pop group El Palacio de Linares. 10 songs, 10 possible singles, 10 hits. The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness already have their third album here, The Third Wave Of_, which will surely continue to increase their status as a cult band for gourmets of the best popular music made in the 00s. This is power/jangle/indie pop o the highest level, to file under Teenage Fanclub, Velvet Crush, Nada Surf, Weezer, The New Pornographers_ and even features Mary Lou Lord in one of the singles: "Isolation". The record contains 10 songs (how not?) and it doesn't last half an hour (why more?). The guitars jangle from minute 0 (delicious "As the Day Begins"). This jangle is complemented by distorted guitars and power pop airs in songs like "Look Back" (a hit with one foot in the romantic power pop of The Keys, The Toms, The Records, the Flamin Groovies of the Shake Some Action era and another chasing the vibes of The Cars, Weezer and even The New Pornographers), "In the Right" (the best Graham Parker or Joe Jackson must be named here, and pay close attention to the dub arrangement that splits the song in two) or the most badass "Out of Time", which is as if Weezer, Dinosaur Jr. and Nada Surf were 20 years old and played together. There is a milestone on this album and that is that Mary Lou Lord sings a duet with Andrew throughout the song "Isolation", a beautiful mid-tempo jangle a la The Bevis Frond that takes the Boys to a new dimension. Mary Lou Lord! Colleague of Elliott Smith and Kurt Cobain, a myth of the not-so-underground American music and a unique voice that should have never stopped being the protagonist. "The Stars Go Round", "Open Up the Box" and "Old Ways" are three wonderful compositions linked to the precious indie pop of Teenage Fanclub, Velvet Crush or The Primary 5, the bands that matter! A novelty is the use of the piano on this album, à la E Street Band, à la Attractions, in energetic and splendid songs like "Old Pictures of Ourselves" and "Turning Red".
