VIDEO OF THE DAY: “THE LOST WEEKEND” BY SEAN FLINN AND THE ROYAL WE

Jul/14

Portland, Oregon’s Sean Flinn and the Royal We began recording their sophomore album, The Lost Weekend, way back in the summer of 2012, but it was finally released earlier this month, and it’s a sheer delight, eleven tracks of pure pop pleasure. The follow-up to fall 2010’s Write Me a Novel, the new disc features the R.E.M.-like “Maps,” the rollicking “Heavy Hearts,” the CSN-ish “Riverbed,” the country ballad “Broken Arrows,” and the sweet and tangy finale, “The Ravine.” Singer-guitarist Flinn, guitarist and keyboardist Arthur C. Lee, bassist Richard Bennett, and drummer Adam Mack will be at Rockwood Music Hall on July 29 at 9:00, on a bill with Jordana de Lovely, Sarah Factor’s Birthday Show, Michael Daves, Nick Africano, and others.
