Cleveland’s Herzog is the creation of musician Nick Tolar, an avid and witty student of indie rock and a skilled songwriter. Herzog’s debut pulls off the nifty trick of resurrecting the sound of ‘90s college radio while imbuing it with markedly original textures and flourishes. “Town to Town” and “Paul Blart and the Death of Art” rock out like Dinosaur Jr.’s catchiest songs, with sturdy percussion anchoring sprawling, whiplashing guitars. Tolar’s boyish vocals plead for love, or a gig, or a better movie. Herzog conjures Built to Spill on the seesawing “Living Alone,” while “Silence” has the fuzzed-out majesty and mystery of Pavement. They’re all glorious tunes, but the wandering, ‘70s-inflected “Static Shock,” the miasmic “Moving Away,” and the wry, self-examining ballad “Cautiously Optimistic” show an artist with an array of original ideas. The hidden gem is “West Boulevard,” where Tolar muses about his roots and who he is. Guitars thrum in an ominous background, and the lyrics burst with a youthful longing for integrity.
