PS I Love You: Meet Me at the Muster Station

"Once every so often, you hear about a band having disputes with its founder ... and deciding to forge on without him or her in the fold. Paul Saulnier is in the fortunate position of almost surely never having to undergo such an ordeal with PS I Love You because its very name unavoidably brings up its creator. ... Kicking off in 2005, it didn’t take PSILY too long to move from the namesake’s one-man show to a duo because, as Saulnier says, 'My live shows that were solo were always disastrous.' Adding Benjamin Nelson on drums fleshed out Saulnier’s indie rock. ... The Kingston, Ontario, Canada-based duo seesaws between vigorous, peppy playfulness and an anxious collapse into heart-wrecked misery. In either instance, a sense of vulnerability persists. PSILY’s debut LP, Meet Me at the Muster Station, bears the fingerprints of ’80s post-punk and ’90s indie rock, evoking The Chameleons, Built to Spill, and Personal Life, The Thermals’ recent stab at despair" (Reyan Ali, "Honest Goodness," New Haven Advocate, 12/2/10, p. 41).
