Does everything have to feel so heavy all the time? Claud Mintz fights with this question all the time. Not polite little tiffs, either: big, dragout, existential wars. Their third album, Me and the Music, finds the 27-year-old Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter-producer grappling with that question and coming up, triumphantly, with something close to an answer: Things can be heavy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Things can be heavy, but that beer in your hand isn’t—why not hold it aloft for a moment, sing along with the friends surrounding you, forget your troubles for the length of a perfect indie-pop song?
