Japandroids - Post-Nothing

Japandroids - Post-Nothing
Post-Nothing. Like the title suggests, this album’s a rejection of the proliferation of “post-” anything and everything, an entirely unpretentious rock record about girls (loving them then quitting them), boys (they’re leaving town), Vancouver (their hometown), and, naturally, growing up (= sad). It’s less a nostalgic harkening-back to a vaguely-defined “better time” than a document of an unavoidably romanticized period of young life. Like Michael Chabon’s The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh, Post-Nothing feels like a love letter to summer, one undoubtedly less exciting unfolding than thought back on; a summer filled, as Chabon describes it, “with a frail and sad exhilaration,” but also with cheep beer, good friends, and french kissing. It’s all quite charming and lovely.
