When the time comes for Cass McCombs' photo spread in SPIN — and it won't be long now — don't be surprised to see the torn-out pages plastered all over your teenage sister's bedroom walls. With a voice like Morrissey and a face like Peter Petrelli from Heroes, McCombs is eminently swoon-worthy. Last year's Dropping the Writ deservedly ended up on Daytrotter's Best 15 Albums of 2007 list. It jumps around from anthemic indie-pop to breezy folk-rock shuffles, always landing with sure footing on McCombs' self-deprecating charm.
