Imagine, if you can, Brian Wilson's SMiLE as a hip-hop record, complete with guest spots from guys like RJD2 and J-Live, and you might start getting a bit of what this Pool Party is about. It's every bit good as Pigeon John's last album, Pigeon John is Dating your Sister, but it's bigger, broader and more colorful. Club tracks like "Freaks! Freaks!" and "One for the..." will get your feet moving, while more serious tracks like "Weight" and "As we know it" will get you thinking and nodding your head at the same time. It's Pigeon's first record since switching to Quannum Projects, the mainstream indie home of DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, and Blackalicious, and here's hoping the move means more tours, more collaborations and more great albums. - Benjamin Esposito
