SOS JFK is the full-length debut from The Children's Hour, an effort rich in contemporary folk stylings and indie rock sensibility. 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 it's 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. . SOS JFK rekindles a lost romance and holds on to an innocence that's quickly fading away as the new millennium takes over. There's nothing naive about it either.
