Look Park – Look Park

Look Park – Look Park

Released July 22nd, 2016

Chris Collingwood insists this isn’t a solo record, it’s a side project from his other job as one of the two principals of Fountains of Wayne, though almost no one will see it that way. Look Park is understated to the point of diffidence. The busy arrangements of songs like this make it hard to feel the dynamic punch that might have better sold this album. Look Park’s weakest points are the frills that seem to dominate more than half of the album. They overshadow songs at times like the incessant strings in the background of “Stars of New York”.

3 out of 5 stars
