Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, but I assume it's some high concept art band, perhaps post punk, or something like Wire.

Album Review: Pop art is a gentle slice of jangly college radio pop music. Like light Michael Stipe meets Michael Penn songs, almost Medieval-New Age at time. Craig Aaronson went on to manage and produce some popular late 90's actsd like Jimmy Eat World & Less Than Jake, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Bran Van 3000. Their record label was self-run.
