Reviews

  • Beachbeatle1's avatar
    Beachbeatle1
    Mix of pretty pop songs & slightly sombre constrained adult-sophisticated tunes that are more roots rock & folky pop w/ the generic funk replaced by a more jangly concoction of art pop, multi-vocal harmonies folksy Americana guitars dancey percussion & actual melodies that display charm variety & a cocktail of creative juices backed by lusher production & occasional use of session musicians. The album proves that the band’s mainstream aspirations can inhibit a gentler posture without going soft while maintaining their offbeat sensibility memorable choruses quirky pop antics & artistic ambition.
    A treasure trove of material on this catchy fun accessible pop album.
