Singer Elizabeth Ziman grew up in New York, she met her bandmates at Boston's Berklee College of Music, they recorded their debut LP in Omaha with Mike Mogis, but her band's jazzy chamber-pop sound doesn't feel tethered to any place or time. There's a drop of Sarah Vaughan and Sara Bareilles in Ziman's zippy, breezy melodies: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar leads the sassy "Momma's Boy"; the album's finest moment is a buoyant cover of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows." Things go downhill when they get too cute: The conceit that adults are merely "Taller Children" gets thin after a few listens.
