Caution and coolness refreshingly thrown to the wind, Dominique Leone's willingness to set his Rundgren-like pipes within countless styles and electronic treatments recalls, locally, our own Matt "Nifty" Smith, and may be heard by many as possessing a similar magpie pop spirit to those recently-reviewed Fiery Furnaces. Leone's the first signing to Hans-Peter Lindstrom's Stromland imprint, and though Lindstrom himself's the one getting all the accolades so far for Where You Go's lengthy laidback/hi-NRG early-'80s Moroder moves (most accomplished on last tramp "The Long Way Home"), the ex-Pitchfork staffer in his stable's the real wizard/true star.
