Discover a Lovelier You

Joe Pernice has always been a softy — his career as the head Pernice (of the Pernice Brothers) has yielded three lush, passionate, and highly recommended soothe-rock records — but the aptly titled Discover a Lovelier You is especially laid-back. Each track has a hard-to-miss ’80s Brit-rock antecedent: ”There Goes the Sun” worships at the altar of the Church, and ”My So-Called Celibate Life” sounds like the Psychedelic Furs sans the furry bits.
