Matthew Pryor of the Get Up Kids is back touting his sophomore release --the spare and all-acoustic Para Toda Vida. As the indie-acoustic movement basks in the midst of the Emo revolution, Pryor's talent as an indie-pop songwriter shines through on his second attempt at moonlighting. The downbeat, alt-country textures blend well with the back-to basics honesty of Pryor's words. Though the themes are the same--hope, love, and yearning--Pryor has changed the tune, by fusing the energy of the Get Up Kids with the quiet grace of Elliot Smith and Rocky Votolato. The album's only weakness is its length, which is just short of thirty minutes. But what it lacks in duration, it clearly makes up for with it's simple charms.
