Review by Zac Johnson
If only Michael Jackson was still making records this good. The Incredible Moses Leroy's creative pilot, Ron Fountenberry, has a gentle croon, strikingly reminiscent of the King of Pop, but the band incorporates elements of quirky indie pop and electronica to further sweeten the pot. Skittering beats and gently blooping Moogs lock in with Fountenberry's neo-soul vocals and lightly strummed acoustic guitars, bringing to mind the Postal Service and the Flaming Lips' unique brand of future pop, but the tunes still remain accessible enough to appear on any teenage girl's iPod. Appropriately enough, Cibo Matto vocalist Miho Hatori turns up on the precious "The Color of Sky," and producer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M., Lisa Germano) dabbles musically here and there, but for the most part it seems to be Fountenberry's show. It is left a little unclear as to whether TIML is shifting their name to become the Soft.Lightes, or if they are impersonating the role of another band for this album (à la Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band), or if this is just another manifestation of Fountenberry's willingly admitted love for comic book heroes. In the end it doesn't really matter — the charmingly goofy songs are well-executed, and the band has certainly done its homework as far as studying the finer points of sweet pop music from the past four decades. Some may find the Incredible Moses Leroy's musings to be overly cute (possibly to the point of being annoying — the nursery rhyme "The Wonder Mic" certainly could've been tweaked beyond its current Hokey Pokey-esque state), but the light summmertime vibe that the band allows to sift through its pop culture filters and drift out of its speakers has a childlike appeal that should speak to all but the most jaded music fans.
