Connells - Boylan Heights

Connells
Boylan Heights

On 'Boylan Heights,' the second album by this North Carolina quintet, the Connells come off like sensitive under-grads pondering life beyond the halls of ivy. Can they ever really go home again? Will they get married? Fight a foreign war?

It's no wonder that the album has spent weeks in the upper reaches of the college-radio charts, for Boylan Heights articulates the concerns of the emerging adult while providing the jangly guitars, minor-key folkie harmonies and robust backbeat that constitute familiar terrain for left-of-the-dial listeners.

Yet chief songwriter (and lead guitarist) Michael Connell, who founded the group in 1984 with his bass-playing brother David, pens

tunes with more far-reaching appeal. As delivered by the fervent lead vocals of Doug MacMillan, Connell's chronicles of romantic yearning and home-town alienation can pluck just about anyone's heartstrings. In the rousing "I Suppose," he contemplates the memory of a one-time sweetheart whose "form and ... face/Like some place that I know/Still return to me now." In the delicately hymnlike "Pawns," Connell's troubadour pleads to his lady: "Please release me with your smile." Connell isn't above an ironic dig at his seemingly perpetual lovelorn condition; in "Scotty's Lament," the refrain goes, "I delight in my despair."

With their Dixie driver's licenses and eclecto-folk-isms have come inevitable R.E.M.-Let's Active comparisons, which the Connells' choice of producer Mitch Easter only invites. But Boylan Heights has plenty of idiosyncrasies that set the band apart from its Southern colleagues, such as the lilting Celtic jig that opens "Scotty's Lament" and the brave little trumpet floating above the martial strains of the antiwar song "Over There." Boylan Heights continues to yield up more charms with each listen. (RS 523)
