ALBUM

Third-place finalists on the fourth season of The Voice in 2013, the Swon Brothers nevertheless secured a major-label deal with Arista Nashville, releasing an eponymous debut in the fall of 2014. The Swon Brothers, both the act and album, embrace the professional anonymity of Nashville, preferring gloss to grit and harmony to twang. This unabashed sentiment does have its perks. It's hard not to smile along with the Swon Brothers as they amble through 11 songs that have nothing but pleasantries on their mind. If none of these professionally written songs have piercing hooks, blame that both on the Brothers' aw-shucks persona and Mark Bright's even-keel production, which shellacs any accentuated rhythms or guitar licks with a highly reflective sheen. So bright is the sound that it doesn't make much of a lasting impact, but as The Swon Brothers plays, it's nothing less than pleasant and that dogged determination to not offend is a hard thing to hate.
