Weird-beard folkie Sam Beam's new album opens up some new avenues, namely the addition of a wider palette of electronics lightly punctuating his accessible and homespun pop songs. There are also some touches of jazz and funk, showing Beam is shedding his folk roots further. Old fans may be upset at the more commercial sound here, but this is a perfect summer pop album for these sweltering afternoons. (Warner Bros)
