Recorded at ages 16 and 17, the second and most pop-oriented Goodbye the Band album, SONGS SET TO MUSIC presents sixteen Johnny American slices of lo/mid-fi pop in a sprawling, compilation-esque format. Torwards the end of the album, you might find yourself in a new, metallic forest that changes back to its organic form ("Statue City" and "Offset") before the album ends. Several songs ("Plastic Dress," "No Government," "I Saw Kara Levy Standing There") are tracks from the unfinished Kara Levy Concept Album, which was shelved in favor of the Johnny American Concept Album, the best and most abrasive Johnny American/Goodbye the Band album.

The name really says it all.
Goodbye the Band was first to come up with a name for an album like this, and when you read it you say to yourself, it's so simple I should have thought of that. Then you think about why you didn't, and you realize it's because you aren't brilliant. Truly brilliant ideas always seem obvious, but that doesn't make them so.
