Bewitched
On its second Elektra album,Bewitched, Luna lost the silly tiny  "squared" symbol after its name and gained a second guitarist: Sean  Eden joins former Galaxie 500 leader Dean Wareham, Chills bassist Justin  Harwood, and Feelies drummer Stanley Demeski. This time, the result is less the  tentative, slightly disjointed work of an (ahem) alternative supergroup than the  product of a tasteful psychedelic rock band specializing in stylish restraint  and a distinctive, clean, and crisp guitar and drum sound. Luna doesn't deny its  influences: Demeski brings the Feelies' trademark crazy rhythm to any project he  joins, and while Wareham used to squirm whenever he was asked about Galaxie  500's obvious debt to the Velvet Underground, he now underlines the connection  by inviting Sterling Morrison to guest on two tracks.--Jim DeRogatis
