Overnight, the third long-player from Charlottesville, Virginia pop machine Parachute, continues in the vein of 2011's Way It Was, offering up another richly detailed, impeccably crafted, and impossibly slick smorgasbord of teen rock/electro-pop confections with a blue-eyed soul center. The band, which has shared the stage with enough like-minded acts (Jonas Brothers, Plain White T's) to know its way around a proper earworm, can cultivate hooks with the best of them, as evidenced by the easy, bouncy opener "Meant to Be," its sonically more adventurous sibling "Can't Help," and the bright and engaging "Didn't See It Coming." ~ James Christopher Monger
