After a few listen to The Silver Seas’ latest album, High Society, it’s not terribly surprising that frontman Daniel Tashian claims his musical inspirations for the album were sitcoms. It’s true that many songs off the album have a certain kitschy style that brings to mind the theme songs of old-school TV shows a la The Odd Couple or All in the Family, but The Silver Seas pull it off in a way that’s always endearingly campy. On High Society’s more cheery first side, “Ms. November,” brings to mind an alt-rock take on Roy Orbison’s “You Got It” with its persistent 12-string strum and Phil-Spector-esque orchestral accompaniment,  and “She is Gone” even somewhat resembles a happier rendition of Radiohead’s “Exit Music (For A Film).” It’s the band’s ballads on the second half of the album, though, that stand out most of all; Tashian’s voice seems to temporarily channel Rufus Wainwright on “We’ll Go Walking,” a wintertime love song complete with sleigh bells, and on finale “The Broadway Lights,” Tashian croons longingly to the city life he seemed to bid good riddance to on opening number “The Country Life.” Each of the songs on High Society have an unusual economy to them, often ending after only two verses, which consequently makes Society an all-too-brief affair. What the album may lack in length, though, it more than makes up for in memorableness – chances of The Silver Seas being forgotten anytime in the foreseeable future? Slim to none.
