Quick, Before It Melts.

I've been absolutely smitten with a great new indie pop album that came my way recently from Pittsburgh of all places. Steve Goldberg & The Arch Enemies self-titled debut album was initially conceived as a senior project by Steve Goldberg while studying at Carnegie Mellon University School of Music. Little by little, instrument by instrument, this grand, orchestral and infectious album seemed to have grown out of a love for classic pop and the great talents of a skilled arranger and composer. With a full band behind him, there's isn't anything Goldberg can't accomplish musically.
