A decade after Pavement's last album - and directly in the wake of their announced 2010 reunion - Scott Kannberg finally releases his first album under his Spiral Stairs moniker with REAL FEEL. Not too far removed from either Preston School of Industry album, REAL FEEL slightly emphasizes a California pop vibe, using these vague Beach Boys aspirations and Kannberg's patented rippling indie-pop as punctuation to a bunch of pleasantly lazy, ambling country-rock. Spiral Stairs remains a pleasing singer/songwriter and REAL FEEL showcases both of these sides effectively, rambling on nicely as it strolls through its songs.

Professional Reviews

Spin (p.84) - "[B]reezily quirky '70s country-pop and late-'60s psychedelia that's two parts Lindsey Buckingham and one part Roky Erickson."

Clash (magazine) - "THE REAL FEEL is the sound of college-rock's most undervalued valedictorian bouncing back with a never-before heard conviction....There is real fire in this record."
