While there's nothing wrong with calling a band Mazarin, it still seems a shame that singer and songwriter Quentin Stoltzfus didn't have the conviction to push his own name to the fore; pop needs more artists who sound as if they were dreamt up by the script department of The Simpsons. Fortunately, Watch It Happen by any name would sound like a better than average debut. The Philadelphia-based Stoltzfus is clearly a chronic Anglophile of some years' standing: while the comparison he has attracted to Mercury Rev, Elliott Smith and Flaming Lips are not without merit, he has far more in common with prime Stone Roses and the later work of the Charlatans--the two British bands who have best amalgamated, as Mazarin do on the fine single "Wheats", the juddering percussive groove of Led Zeppelin and the melodic exuberance of the Beatles. Though WatchIt Happen, in the manner of most debuts, sounds slightly in awe of the records that inspired it, it was at least inspired by all the right records. --Andrew Mueller
