Zach Romeo- Little Action

Little Action, the new album by Zach Romeo (whose fingerprints are all over the music videos of some of your favorite MJ Lenderman and Wednesday hits), piles up a jumbled heap of homemade songs, sawing on the fiddle and squalling on the pedal steel until sluggish alt-rock feels like a junkyard rebuild of Southern rock. Raised on whatever WNCW sent through the car dashboard, Romeo turns those radio ghosts into rock solid anthems that swagger and stumble in equal measure.
