New Music Roundup, 6/12

Jukebox the Ghost - Safe 
I had never heard of this band before today, when I read the AV Club's review today that said the group was equally influenced by Ben Folds, Fountains of Wayne, and Queen.  Let me tell you: if you drop those three comparisons, it's going to get my attention.  The group these guys actually remind me the most of is actually fun., but with the grandiosity turned down a little bit and the strange production decisions that dogged the back half of that band's album happily absent.  This is a peppy little album, and I think I could end up listening to it quite a bit.  I'm hoping this band gets some good exposure: this album deserves it.
