The Pathways: Productivity (single)
[RIYL]

Sounding so young and so amateurish, but in such beautiful ways, The Pathways new 7" single, Productivity is somewhat of a pseudo-punk-ish version of REMs Perfect Circle.  Theyre getting comparisons to Orange Juice and The Go-Betweens, but fans of Murmur will hear a similar spirit, if its not nearly as excellent.

The B-sides arent quite as pretty, but they cop enough jangle and mystery to warrant purchase.  Its not all very melodic, and though theres something engaging to David Yourdons vocals, hes not quite a singer; which means hell leave the occasional awkward moment in his wake.  Still, an LP would be welcomed.
