Five long years after the last full-length album by his elegant alt-country band Romantica hit shelves comes Ben Kyle's self-titled solo debut. The Minneapolis-by-way-of-Belfast singer-songwriter still possesses one of the finest voices on the local scene. There's a reason he's sang with the likes of Ryan Adams and Dan Wilson in the past, and that voice is front and center on the new album's sparse but spritely arrangements. Kyle's such an emotive and gifted singer that his songs manage to connect even when his lyrics occasionally veer toward the treacly, as on the too-cute-tune "Minneapolis" ("Oh Minneapolis/I saw you and Saint Paul kiss/Neath the moonlight in a Mississippi mist/Never saw a thing as beautiful as this"). Ben Kyle's gentle sounds won't rock your world, that's not really their intention, but they'll likely bring a smile to your face. All Ages, $15, 7 p.m., 416 Cedar Ave., Minneapolis, 612.338.2674.
