While achieving commercial success—most notably with “Stacy’s Mom,” a hit from their third album, Welcome Interstate Managers, released in 2003—they’ve maintained a steady, unhurried pace as standard-bearers of power pop and guitar pop.
When it comes to their winter songs, one can’t help but single out “Valley Winter Song.” Also featured on Welcome Interstate Managers, it’s a beautiful yet faintly melancholic gem, with briskly strummed acoustic guitars and delicate melodies.
The winter scenery and inner landscapes portrayed from their distinctly New York perspective are deeply poignant.
