Rootsy without being retro, poppy without being cutesy, and punky without being snotty, the Honeydogs is one of those rare bands that makes everything it touches likable. Much credit goes to singer/guitarist Adam Levy, whose loose, confident vocals find the emotional center of each song, whether he's dealing with the wreckage of a breakup on "Those Things Are Hers" or the hopeful court-and-spark of "Your Blue Door" (the best Michael Penn song he never wrote). Levy's bandmates follow suit, rocking out with a clean, unaffected grace, and helping to make Seen a Ghost one of the most irresistible albums of the year.
