The debut full-length by
the New Frontiers
single-handedly does much to reclaim the better aspects of the term "emo" from the rafts of soundalike eyelinered mall punk bands who have watered down its usefulness as a genre description. As melancholy but oddly appealing as a middle-American version of post-
Coldplay
U.K. mope-pop acts like
Keane
or
Doves
,
the New Frontiers
' musical focus throughout
Mending
is on pretty, melodic, low-key songs with just a hint of a country influence in the occasional fiddle or pedal steel part. (Think
Cursive
or
Low
, not
Wilco
.) Singer/songwriter
Nathan Pettijohn
's hushed, intimate vocals are the primary focal point of every song, bringing an engaging warmth to his fairly plain-spoken, medium-angsty lyrics. The album is front-loaded with a pair of early winners,
"Black Lungs"
and
"Man Down,"
that bring a stronger measure of passion and kinetic energy than the rest of the album's 11 songs. But while it's a bit of a shame that the rest of the album keeps the tempos slow and the emotions at a bare simmer instead of mixing the moods a bit more, songs like
"Mirrors"
and the sparse, acoustic
"Spirit and Skin"
are solid enough to keep
Mending
from sounding too samey. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
