Norm (LP)
Andy Shauf
Amoeba Review
Andy Shauf’s Norm is a multi-layered album that’s a masterclass in storytelling. This is woozy, lovesick pop that feels like you’re tuning into an AM gold station in an alternate universe. The tracks possess a strange yet dreamy quality that feels both familiar and understandable--and that’s the brilliance of the album. Because beneath the well-trod ground of forlorn love songs lies something deeper and darker. In the tradition of Andy Shauf albums, Norm is a concept…where the concept feels like one of those self-proclaimed nice guys who aren’t, after all, so nice. It’s a testament to Shaun’s skills as a songwriter that these tracks feel so downright easy-breezy, so beautiful in their own pastel-hued way that their unsettling quality lurks on the sidelines until you’ve already welcomed them into your heart.
