    Between the Joe Jackson snarl of "Pay No Mind" and the Beatlesque punk riffing of "Little Strange," there's a satisfying balance of smart pop songcraft and rugged power that suggests he's found the sweet spot.

    Edkins' tunes are virtually indestructible, which means that you could arrange them in almost any pop style with almost any affectation and they would still sparkle. But they are especially effective in this setting because of Edkins' obvious love of power pop.
