Make it be

"Surreal, sunshine-baked collaborationDescribed as his "most focused album yet," and possibly his nine-millionth, Make It Be is Moore's collaboration with Jason Falkner of Jellyfish (among others). Both bring exactly what you'd expect to the table - Moore a childish baritone that can somehow make even the mundane statements ("strictly prohibited") seem potent, while Falkner provides a breezy power pop that's most effective when pinned down under Moore's vocals".

"The pairing of power pop wizard Jason Falkner and legendary weirdo R. Stevie Moore may at first seem like a strange match, but it's clear right away that the two musicians bring out the best in each other. Falkner's studio wizardry and tight arrangements rein in Moore's predilections for formless noise, and Moore's careening songs give Falkner's sometimes too tightly buttoned-up approach a goose. Make It Be ends up being a true collaboration, full of left turns and great tunes, and ultimately becomes one of the most enjoyable albums in either's discography".
