Seattle's Scott Reitherman is still the main man behind one of indie pop's greatest records of the past decade, Throw Me the Statue's 2008 masterpiece, Moonbeams. But Reitherman has moved on to his new project Pillar Point (and so should I). On Marble Mouth—his second album under the alliterative name—Reitherman delivers his usual batch of catchy melodies and dance-worthy rhythms, held together by a boatload of warm synths that sound shipped in from the '80s. Noticeable all over Marble Mouth is the influence of Kevin Barnes, the inimitable engine at Of Montreal's center. Reitherman recorded the album at Barnes' home studio in Athens, Georgia, and you can hear his aesthetic seeping into Marble Mouth's rubbery funk bass lines and warbly vocals. The result is a forward-thinking electro-pop record with an old-soul heart. BEN SALMON
