Fred Armisen and Bill Hader's knowing parody of '70s El Lay soft rock, the Blue Jean Committee, began as a sketch on Saturday Night Live and was later spun off into Gentle and Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee , a mock documentary for their IFC series Documentary Now! Gentle and Soft fared well enough that Armisen and Hader have released an EP of the fictive group's music, titled Catalina Breeze after the group's runaway hit album in the film. The music captures the period admirably well, with its silky harmonies, judicious use of clavinet and Fender Rhodes piano, and laid-back melodies, and the lyrics to "Catalina Breeze" and "Going Out to Hollywood" suggest these guys have been studying their old Steely Dan records. While most of these tracks are more sketches than songs -- the longest of the seven selections here runs just 2:16, and two clock in at less than a minute -- the accuracy of the parody is consistently impressive, and folks who enjoyed Gentle and Soft or have a soft spot for their old Poco or America albums will get a smile from Catalina Breeze. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
