John B.L. Soule once said, Go West Young Man when referring to opportunities on the frontier. Personifying that momentum, Damin Suarez (ex–The Fictions) has crafted homage to ’60s/’70s pop blending jangly guitars, horns and harmonies with piano arrangements while also evoking contemporaries like Ben Folds and Kweller. The indie pop songs on the debut album Go West Young Man – whether guitar or piano driven – are always catchy and punctuated with Suarez’s biting lyrics and upbeat rhythms.
