The strongest track on the debut release from this three-piece Indianapolis band is "The Wait," an upbeat, retro celebration of new love. While fans of light and airy guitar pop will appreciate the Pieces' spare sound and soothing harmonies, mainstream rock lovers might also embrace the band as one of their own. Bassist Heidi Gluck's vocals have a cool gloss not far from that of Sheryl Crow's, and songwriter Vess Ruhtenberg delivers lyrics with a modesty that belies his capabilities; he gets points for his relaxed, confident style. He's also an unabashed romantic. The touching and beautiful "Accept Me" is a winning statement of love, while the bittersweet sentiments of "Croque Pop" are adorned with brassy bits of saxophone and trumpet. "What You Want" lets the singing duo's vocals shine, and lazy rock guitars drive Ruhtenberg's ruminations on life in Tom Petty-like fashion on "That's Why It Is." --Lorry Fleming
