When buildings breed, do they make roads or convenience stores – things that stretch out from them like extension or umbilical cords or little baby versions of themselves, one-tiered, simple designs meant expressly for efficiency and lack of confusion? The answer and the question are rhetorical so don’t answer that, but the band from Californian country that’s know mostly for citrus and early adopting of cellular telephones that calls itself Buildings Breeding is concerned primarily with those sociological difficulties that have nothing to do with bricks and mortar in the song, “Stacking Up Reasons,” a hot flash of folkish indie rock that just a few short weeks ago was riding high on the OurStage, but has since drifted into the caboose. It deserves a second wind on the charts, with its drafty, almost Rogue Wave flutter and its concise execution – a perfect pop song in two-minutes, 19-seconds.
