Michigan singer-songwriter David Vandervelde began recording "The Moonstation House Band three years ago, when he moved into ex-Wilco keyboardist Jay Bennett's Chicago studio at the ripe old age of nineteen. True to its groovy title, The Moonstation features reverb-drenched roots rock driven by Vandervelde's shaggy vocals and guitar. He manages to be both highbrow and homespun: "Can't See Your Face No More" is a plea to win his girl back from her "crooked lover," Jesus Christ; "Nothin' No" is a porch-rock ode to booze and summer love. Vandervelde does better with uptempo tracks like "Jacket" than he does on heavy-handed snoozers like "Corduroy Blues" and "Moonlight Instrumental," but this house band deserves a residency -- or at least a follow-up album.
