New Jersey’s Big Troubles has toured with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and Real Estate, and it shares those groups’ penchant for shy, down-turned melodies that somehow manage to sound sad and cheery simultaneously. On Big Troubles’ second album, Romantic Comedy, singer-songwriters and principal members Alex Craig and Ian Drennan move beyond the sound of contemporary guitar-pop and aim directly for the genre’s forebears. “Love is in the air, and I don’t care,” Craig purrs on the catchy single “Sad Girls,” affecting the breathy, lovelorn miserablism of the Zombies’ Colin Blunstone and Joe Pernice over ...
