If L.C. Franke seems anachronistic in sound, consider that in a world spinning out of control, maybe the anchor of a smooth croon and earnest angst is precisely what we need. For Jeff Klein, the musical reinvention from the dark rock of My Jerusalem into the easy listening, string-strafed Sinatra pop of L.C. Franke provides a salve of nostalgia mixed for modern anxiety, a balm between Scott Walker and Richard Hawley. Franke goes in-store at Waterloo Records ahead of the Sunday release show at the State Theatre for his immaculately suave debut album, Still in Bloom. – Doug Freeman
