No longer are the arrangements dominated by hush vocals and spare instrumentation. The Volunteers is gifted with smashing anthems like \"We Had a Deal\" (which could be \u003c\/span\u003eRyan Adams\u003cspan\u003e-penned). But Matranga doesn't completely abandon the original template, and the echoey and sparse bits create a now familiar but still effective loud\/soft dynamic that is unstoppable. Even when the songwriting is odd (the start-stop \"Over It\"), it's because Matranga is masterfully constructing a setup to transition into pure pop grandiosity. Onelinedrawing, in general, may be a bit too saccharine for some listeners, and it lacks the classic power pop levity of a \u003c\/span\u003eBrendan Benson\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003eWeakerthans\u003cspan\u003e, but The Volunteers is a wildly inventive record that can stand tall beside earnest peers like \u003c\/span\u003eSaves the Day\u003cspan\u003e's \u003c\/span\u003eIn Reverie\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647473451309,"sku":"ONLINEDRAWING-THE-VOLUNTEERS-LP-M-7908","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/2910\/4685\/files\/418456361201_1000.jpg?v=1792012923","url":"https:\/\/shop.altpress.com\/products\/onlinedrawing-the-volunteers-lp-marigold-vinyl","provider":"Alternative Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
