Unlike most teen sensations, Llama Farmers (whose bassist Jenni Simpson is listed as 16 years old) perform pop music with a serious amount of aggression and bite. Taking a page from the R.E.M.-Nirvana notebook, in which catchy melodies are met head on with cryptic (OK, unfocused) lyrics and singers of great sincerity (OK, overseriousness), Dead Letter Chorus is a surprisingly good debut. While there is a suspicious amount of finesse here for such a young band, the band's rough edges poke out with sizable punk-rock energy, stoking the rhythm section furnace in the album's opening cuts. The band turns tentative for a few slower tunes, "When We Were Friends" and "Big Wheels," that prove maturity is still somewhere in their future. But the steamroller picks up again for "Jessica" before backing off a bit near album's end. "PVC," which trades vocals between sibling Jenni and older brother Bernie, prove the chemistry is there when they get the atoms moving. --Rob O'Connor
