"Help Wanted Nights" is the new album from Omaha, NE band The Good Life. Lead singer Tim Kasher started the band in 2000 as a side project to Cursive, whose 2006 album "Happy Hollow" focused on the darker side of middle America. The songs on that record were sung from the intersecting perspectives of a variety of townsfolk, and Kasher takes a similar approach on "Help Wanted Nights". Here, the characters are regulars at the fictitious Sundowner Bar, a place the romantically frustrated go to drown their sorrows. The songs are the poppiest Kasher has done yet. "Keely Aimee" is a standout.
