For Robert Schneider — who helped bring back psych-pop during the '90s with his Elephant 6 mates — the gilded hooks are sharp boomerangs, always circling back and bringing you to your knees. While Schneider's reedy vocals aren't particularly fetching, the vocal melodies are crack, sucking you into their sunny nexus. Last year's Travellers in Space and Time dives headlong into Vocoder-affected, ELO-style orchestral pop with varying success. With Three Legged Race. —Chris Parker
