(Untitled) #36 feat. Rockin' The Suburbs, by Ben Folds

After the split of Ben Folds Five in 2000 following disappointing sales and reviews of their third album, Rockin' the Suburbs sees Ben Folds abandoning the frat boy humour of his past and warily embracing adulthood in his solo debut. Harnessed to some gloriously fluid piano, Uma and Ezra takes a look these vital collection of poppy melodies as they unpackage Folds' character studies, the pain and poignancy of ageing as magnified as the trials of struggling youth.
