Jeff Beam – People Places

I love off-beat, catchy tracks. And handclaps. Seriously, when have handclaps ever not made a song awesome? This new one from Jeff Beam showcases a real talent for short, sweet pop songs.

The totally relaxed, jamming with your buds nature of this song is really what makes it. It's not dragged out to fill four minutes and it begins with various peoples voices in the background. I've had a trend of feel-good, fun music going on Those Who Dig lately. Hopefully we'll hear more about Jeff Beam soon, because this is a very well constructed pop tune with great tempo changes. It has a real Elvis Costello feel in it's straightforward, tight nature. Win.
