Josephine Foster and Andy Bar are earnest in keeping things simple, basically picking up where their self-titled EP left off for a wistful set of melodies. Vocally and musically, the pair isn't overly ambitious. SOS JFK is appealing because its basic folk -- reflective, united, and warm -- and a move from the church to the studio captures such feeling. SOS JFK's instrumentation is polished with harps and pianos. Such a mix is sweeping and nearly matchless to Cat Power's quieter moments. Threads of Americana softly sway with Foster's lullaby-like vocals for the biographical "Adoption Day." This particular song was written for Bar's younger sister, who was adopted, and it's a delightful tribute. "Special King" and "Kindness of Strangers" are equal in poetics as jazz bits are sprinkled throughout these ballads. Foster's signature ukulele also adds a summery kind of freshness to the constant waves of acoustic guitars for an enjoyable listen. The Children's Hour, whose name is taken from a 19th century American poet, subtly suggest that they're on to something more than just music. SOS JFK rekindles a lost romance and holds on to an innocence that's quickly fading as new millennium pop/rock takes over. There's nothing na‹ve about it, either. ~ MacKenzie Wilson Professional Reviews: Q (11/03, p.107) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...'The Lumberjack Song' moves with supple grace, and the centrepiece, 'Adoption Day' is desperately moving and unsettlingly quaint. Tiny cultdom awaits..." Uncut (11/03, p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...There are moments of airy, unhinged beauty worthy of Mary Margaret O'Hara..."
