Old-school Teenbeat legend Jonny Cohen (sans his Love Machine band) phones it in from Rockville, MD. Though his songs might sound naive, similar to Daniel Johnston's, they're actually quite sophisticated, covering topics as disparate as eating disorders and animals in space. Weird, for sure, but poignant and memorable, and even just a cappella, catchy as hell. Are Jonny's songs glimpses into his own head, fictional narrative sketches, or somehow both? Either way: brilliant.
