On fifth album "You Could’ve Just Said That," New York indie pop doyen Scott Klass, aka The Davenports, finds broad resonance through the thoughtful exploration of situations esoteric yet common to all. Coming from NYC bred / LA based indie label Mother West in January, the self-produced record is true to its title in both sentiment and execution, making it the most heartfelt expression of a 25-year journey already characterized by frank, poignant insight.
Formed in 2000, The Davenports is well-known for “Five Steps,” the theme song for A&E’s long-running, Emmy-nominated series Intervention. Earning consistent critical acclaim for catchy yet nuanced songcraft and smart, narrative lyricism, Klass’ music has drawn comparisons to Weezer, Ben Folds, and Fountains of Wayne (Klass also plays alongside FoW frontman Chris Collingwood in Look Park).
"You Could’ve Just Said That" is the first Davenports album self-recorded at home with Klass handling nearly every part. The result is charmingly unfiltered, moment-in-time expressions without third-party interpretations or expectations. Beneath the surface-level immediacy of ostensibly simple songwriting is a cultured emotional and musical intricacy that lends the record rare depth and longevity. Add in its uniquely homespun production, and you’re left with a delightful anomaly in an era of multi-writer, multi-producer, pristine pop.
