Welsh indie pop maestro Simon Love stays in the sweet spot on Love, Sex & Death Etc., his third solo outing. By openly acknowledging his thematic triumvirate in the album's title, listeners more or less know what to expect in terms of tone and subject matter. Love has made a career of playing the wry, smart pop ladies' man, cloaking his romantic entanglements, trysts, and foibles in cleverly arranged, retro-inclined arrangements that often punch above their weight. Between revved-up rockers like "Me and You" and deftly chorded pop fanfares like "The Fuck Up" he flashes his melodic chops while staying well within the comfort zone of his chosen character. Many of the songs have a loose and jangling feel that flirts with country music, albeit more like early Bee Gees than Americana. While there are some high points (the barnstorming, brass-bedecked "North Road," in particular), the nearly-seven minute "L-O-T-H-A-R-I-O" wears out its welcome almost before it starts and "I Love Everybody in the Whole Wide World (Except You)" feels like a composite retread of any number of previous Love cuts. Like his first two albums, Love, Sex & Death Etc. is tightly crafted and throughtfully paced. But also like his previous albums, it relies heavily on schtick to carry the day.
