I’ve been listening to this band on and off since finding them near the end of May, but everytime I come back I listen to at least an album in full. They sound like if a band with 90’s twee-pop lyrical prowess were dropped in the Brill Building and incorporated a surprising but welcomed dose of dub. RIYL: Beach Boys-style-orchestration worship, laying in the park and/or daydreaming about yr crush, music that lands in both easy- and active-listening camps comfortably.
Underrated Shoegaze and Dream Pop band, probably because they were most active *just* pre-streaming era. Sort of like the ethereality of Beach House reconciled with the energy of (various genres of) dance music, plus a lot of interesting harmonies between the two singers
this album has been hitting recently, your classic indie band who seems to be genuinely having fun while making music? it feels like sunshine in the car while driving to me :)
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
