Fountains of Wayne: Deep Cuts
Apple Music
Although Fountains of Wayne were renowned in the '90s and '00s for their smart, crafty take on power pop, they always drew inspiration from a diverse sonic palette. "The Valley of Malls" is a sizzling garage-rock tango with a psych-pop chaser, while the funk-infused "Acela" possesses a laidback, jammy vibe and "Yolanda Hayes" imagines the secret life of a Department of Motor Vehicles worker amid a backdrop of strutting horns and boogying pub-band piano.
