This latest release from Spymob, the musicians behind Pharrell Williams' productions, leaves nothing but a feeling of eternal gratitude due to the quality of the songs on offer here. With an album that is more twang than anything remotely close to the funk the group is best known for, Memphis is built on alt-country foundations with elements of indie pop as indicated by "Dream About Her." "Sometimes It Doesn't Feel Right" is equally hazy yet more country in its leanings and aching from the inside out. Where this album really pays off, however, is the diversity Spymob bring to Memphis due to their ability to turn their hands to a variety of musical genres, which this four piece subtly integrate between the cracks without straying from its main intentions of an alt-country sound. Such evidence is found in the choppy guitar work and slightly eccentric "Making A Killing," bringing to mind Beck, and the intricacies and dexterity of "Heavy Load,? before resuming to the more conventional and breezy country goodness of "Sweet Lovin' High." If the year had reached its conclusion already, then Memphis would be topping the end of year album poll because it is simply that good.
