The 11-track album acts a bit like a song cycle with its tales of going home again and finding one’s place in the world, but it’s not the product of a grand plan. “My influences are pretty obvious on the record,” says Zelaya, who says everyone from The Beatles to The Kinks to The Zombies were reference points. “I wasn’t trying to deny anything I wanted to do. The old band, while it was haphazard, we attempted to be coherent, and in trying to do that, we didn’t sound coherent at all. With this, I’m trying not to sound directed—these are the 11 songs that I like the most, and I basically got my favorite musicians that I knew to play them.” Though music from the ’60s has had a profound effect on Zelaya, his allegiance to the era isn’t as cartoonish as some of his contemporaries. While it’s true that Second Story Maker probably wouldn’t exist without John, Paul, Mick, and Keith, it’s just as easy to find comparisons to more recent artists like Elliott Smith, Spoon, Wilco, and Cardinal. And, perhaps most importantly, the sum of those parts is a timeless-sounding record that’s subtle and intriguingly singular.
