Following a four-year hiatus that found Fountains of Wayne going from Atlantic Records to S-Curve Records, New Jersey`s favorite power-pop outfit delivers WELCOME INTERSTATE MANAGERS, the band`s third opus. FOW does an excellent job of capturing the suburban zeitgeist that dates back to the band`s name (derived from a Garden State backyard fixtures emporium) and carrying on from 1999`s excellent UTOPIA PARKWAY.
Wielding boatloads of hooks and harmonies, Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood delight with songs about high school sweethearts (the melancholy "Hackensack"), a good woman`s love in the face of a crap job (a sweet, semi-acoustic "Hey Julie"), and exploding cell phones (an anthemic "Mexican Wine"). With its handclaps, rad harmonies and perky synths, the irresistible "Stacy`s Mom" fantasizes about a best friend`s mom, and seems tailor-made for any future American Pie sequels. Other pop manna includes the Beatlesque "Fire Island," the country-fried "Hung Up On You" (featuring guest lap steel player Robert Randolph), and the Brit-pop psychedelia of "No Better Place." WELCOME INTERSTATE MANAGERS easily notches a place on any Best of 2003 list.
