In Brief

* * * Super Deluxe, “Famous,” Revolution. This savvy Seattle quartet has a knack for mixing and matching elements from the last three decades of English pop. Its snappy debut brims with hints of the Beatles and the Who--as well as faux-Brits extraordinaire the Monkees. The group incorporates a touch of bracing guitar noise and carries it all off with a more down-to-earth air than the current Brit-pop crowd.
