Although many of his songs suggest raw aggression, a gentler side can be heard in Seaside Rendezvous, a coy confection of muted harmonies and polite French phrases that is slyly reminiscent of potted palms and '20s hotel orchestras. The new album also includes Drummer Taylor's wry valentine to his auto: I'm In Love With...
