Built on Squares is an interesting little CD I picked up at Rasputin on an indecisive New Music Friday. Starlight Mints were listed in the computer as a “similar artist” to the Eels, and and the album’s used price was right. Like the Eels, there are a variety of instruments, including strings, trumpet, and a strong infusion of electronic sounds. Starlight Mints is what you’d get if you took the personal component out of the Eels and replaced it with full time playfulness.
