“Imperfect records for an imperfect world” proclaims the back cover of Compare and Decide, an indication of the solemnity that Loyd and Neal Grossman bring to their work: they’d probably be offended if anyone dared take them seriously. The Massachusetts duo turns terminal Anglophilia into an asset: Loyd sings like a charmingly inebriated Ray Davies, and the flippant tunes (e.g., “I’m So Heavy Metal,” “El Disco Es Cultura”) rock along with delightful insouciance. The Commercials do a giddy version of ABBA’s “Mamma Mia,” too. Recorded (natch) in London.
