Elected frontman Blake Sennett is better known as the driving force behind recent sensations Rilo Kiley, who specialize in glossy, slightly mannered indie-pop. The Elected, Sennetts side project, makes a vastly different kind of noise: Sun, Sun, Sun, the groups second release, is a warm, California country-soul album that makes liberal use of horns, harmonies, and organs. Though self-consciously old-school in places, its otherwise pretty terrific, reminiscent of, and mostly equal to, works by the Pernice Brothers and Beachwood Sparks (though the Elected have more energy than the Pernices and, it would seem, less of a fondness for pot-fueled spaciness than the Sparks). Sennett is a sharp songwriter and a not-half-bad singer; under his direction, Sun is an appealing mixture of 1969 (his fondness for Gram Parsons cannot be overstated) and 2006, with an emphasis on the former.
