When Frank Black wrote a love song with the Pixies, he imagined girls cutting themselves and bleeding on their dresses; this Joey Santiago project, about the pleasures of courtship and matrimony (his wife Linda Mallari sings and cowrites), reflects a healthier, better adjusted and totally Dullsville perspective. Santiago’s riffs are best at their most cathartic, all slash and keen. Here, they pack no such tension, and Mallari’s voice, albeit sweet and a touch Deal-ish, can’t make up for that.
