“Los Angeles-based duo The Meadows don’t just have all the right influences (Pete Yorn, Teenage Fanclub Ryan Adams and The Jayhawks) in check on their self-titled debut, they’ve also got a stunning knack for songcraft. Boasting alternating frontmen Todd Herfindal (ex-Blue Sky Roadster and Single) and Kevin Houlihan (formerly of The Fundamentals and Moontower), the pair join forces to assert — through this resourceful and immediately charming 12-song cycle — that they’ve spent enough time in almost-famous bands. From the heaven-sent, swooning of “Been So Long” to the tender, reflective “Younger Yesterday”, The Meadows’ take on guitar pop –bolstered by thumbs-up harmonies and ace arrangements — can be as dazzling (“Turn It Around”) as it is exhilarating (“Dreamer”). – AllMusic
