...exhibit ranges from portraits to cityscapes to glimpses into the studio life. Cassatt's severe and pensive mother makes a showing in drab black dress, a prim contrast to Thomas Hovenden's slumped self-portrait (1875).

...cohesive album, whose melodic bass lines issue taut rejoinders to lazy keyboard echoes, delicate synth arpeggios, and efficient percussion—complete with judicious handclaps, especially on “First Time” (alas, sans cowbell).Despite the album’s electro-sheen and programmatic counterpoint, singer Jeremy Greenspan’s high, reverb-enhanced vocals imbue the tracks with a necessary human element.Indeed, Greenspan’s voice staves off the otherwise-inevitable feeling that these tracks might, in fact, make rather excellent lounge instrumentals.And while these ten tracks do tend to emphasize a removed compositional sensibility...
