HAVEN
Between The Senses (Virgin)
Rating: NNN Rating: NNN
The full-length debut from Haven, produced by ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, opens strong with Let it Live, a jangly mid-tempo Britpop rocker tinged with psychedelia, and continues in the same vein for several tracks, including the single Say Something. Gary Briggs’s lilting falsetto is lovely at first, but as song after song continue in the same melancholic groove, it all gets a little tedious. Haven joins Division of Laura Lee at Lee’s Palace Wednesday (October 9).
