"One-person pop project File Under Foliage is the work of Nashville-based QC Green, who certainly knows how to craft infectious pop gems. The descending melody of album opener “I Burnt All My Letters” has a sharp hook that pulls you into File Under Foliage’s world of bright synths and upbeat electronic percussion. The They Might Be Giants–esque “Change My Shirt” pairs clever lyrics with an elastic bassline and shuffling drum machines. The syncopated “My Name” veers pretty close to ska territory, practically begging for a Jeff-Rosenstock-style reworking more strictly adherent to that style. When lo-fi pop is done well (and let’s be clear, it’s done very well here) it’s a unique listening experience; the feeling of just hanging out, listening to someone create goofy songs with whatever equipment is available. It’s a great feeling, and one that File Under Foliage consistently delivers."
