On their first album in 21 years, Semisonic struggle to tap into their big, bold and charismatic Y2K root. Read our review.
In the years since Semisonic went on hiatus, lead singer/songwriter Dan Wilson has written for practically everyone. His songcraft appears on albums by Mitski, Manchester Orchestra and Meghan Trainor, all within the last two years. Wilson has become a machine by providing his charming, mild affect to almost anyone, helping create a new generation of adult contemporary heroes in the process.
Wilson’s chameleon abilities has kept him busy in the last two decades, but he’s always had a joyful corniness that his hired-gun material loses along the way. As the frontman of Semisonic, Wilson relished earnestness and goofiness as a necessary ingredient.
. In fact, the highlights here are occupied with the past. On “Grow Your Own,” Wilson thinks back to when rock and roll “made lose control” or a time when Aimee Mann said that she listened to Semisonic. The laidback electric guitar groove and light backing vocals—both complete with just the slightest bit of snarl—help sell Wilson’s clichés about the power of rock and roll.
