  Dan Bejar floods these songs with obscure references, melodies, and surreal imagery, but the album never collapses under its own cleverness. “Streethawk I” and “The Bad Arts” drift between glam rock swagger and late-night introspection, while “Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Sea of Tears)” is both funny and oddly moving. It’s literate indie rock that still feels loose and alive.
