Maritime's music feels like a progression from Wood/Water. Bubbling with the classic melodic charms that made the Promise Ring so winning, Maritime's debut, Glass Floor, is a pop album somewhere between Matthew Sweet and the Flaming Lips. Strings and horns color the arrangements, but there's a gentle breeziness in the persistent guitar jangle that avoids appearing too studious. It's a good -- not great -- album, but Maritime's direction is beginning to take shape, as Von Bohlen adds to his already rich legacy in the Promise Ring and Cap'n Jazz.
