The time is long past when one could consider Portastatic a lo-fi side project. With Bright Ideas, their first full-on studio recording, Mac McCaughan, Matthew McCaughan (drums) and Jim Wilbur (bass) unleash an album brimming with confidence and verve. Recorded at Tiny Telephone and engineered by American Music Club's Tim Mooney, Bright Ideas is a rollicking, tuneful guitar-rock record made for driving fast with the windows down. More Badfinger than Buzzcocks, Bright Ideas captures the more rocking side of Portastatic that has emerged in live shows since the release of 2003's Summer of the Shark.
