Jul 1, 2014Although most of Careers chugs along with a sandy roadside candor, some tracks, like the churning, heavy Planet Birthday or the clinically pulsing Hong Kong Hotel, play with disparate textures.

Jun 30, 2014Riding in on a humid wave of 1990s guitar rock and ’60s girl-group harmonies, the debut from the new project of Frankie Rose and Drew Citron is pure ear candy.

Jun 30, 2014Again and again, it’s the harmonies that make Careers a compelling listen and, through their atypical approach to a fairly staid genre, elevate these songs from good to great and, in the process, create one of the better albums to come out this year and one of the best examples the genre has offered thus far.

Jul 2, 2014These songs keep the gruffness that marked Rose’s early bands but opt for clearer dynamics.
-
Jul 1, 2014For now, Careers stands up as a testament to the power of serendipity and a decent first effort from a blooming young songwriter.
-
Jul 1, 2014Careers can be perceived as a step backwards, or as an opportunity for Citron to find her voice, even though it may not make that much of a difference considering there’s very few variations in the tradition they dutifully follow.
