Boggia is back. Those three words are all some power pop fans will need to hear, but for the uninitiated, Jim Boggia is one of the top artists in the power pop field these days, and Misadventures In Stereo, his followup to 2005's superb Safe In Sound , is another feather in his cap. He's been a session pro for years, and he's a musician's musician. You know you're in for quality right...
Although Jim Boggia doesn't re-invent the wheel on Misadventures in Stereo , he and his session musicians succeed in crafting simplistic, well-written pop songs.
Misadventures In Stereo, the third album by widely lauded singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jim Boggia, is unmistakably the work of a true believer and pop craftsman who's closely acquainted with music's capacity for transcendent uplift.[...] Read more!
- Jim Boggia delivers a blend of sounds that form a composite resembling The Fray and family sitcom pick-me-up credit intros with their release of Misadventures in Stereo. The reason I mention the Fray is that the pacing and tone delivered parallels their hits. In the beginning of the album, the hooks carry the ring of a gospel choir praying, as it’s very inviting and encourages people to sing...
To call Jim Boggia's Misadventures in Stereo a smashing power-pop success almost seems like damning it with faint praise; that is, if you think the term “power pop” only encompasses a stylistic breadth that starts with the Raspberries and ends with the Romantics. However, if your definition extends instead to the somewhat more singer-songwriterly realms of Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Matthew Sweet,...

Jim Boggia is a throwback. This cat likes to record on tape. Analog! Can you believe it? In the Digital Download Age! What is he thinking?! He’s thinking he’d make a perfect pop album that sounds like it could have come from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Which is exactly what he did - called Misadventures in Stereo . For this party, put on some blue jeans, a white tee shirt, slick back your hair with...

Watching the MLB All-Star Game as I type, and a few minutes ago a Blackberry commercial ran. The background music sure sounded familiar. It took me a couple of minutes, but it hit me - it was Jim Boggia's "Live The Proof", from his 2005 album Safe In Sound (#12 in my year-end list). Pretty cool, I thought, for a relatively obscure tune to hit the big time, as it were. Of course, there's a YouTube...
