The new album by them is awesome! Especially great bc it fits with the weather...at least to me, it feels like a very summer album.
I will admit, I have a soft spot for them. I saw them in some brooklyn club 2 years ago. But they put on a good show and I thought they had a lot of promise. To which, they lived up and succeeded on their sophmore release - belong.
The sophomore can be described as irresistibly melodic post-shoegaze pop packed with a ton of hooky choruses, compellingly sweet vocals and smoothly roaring dream-pop guitar riffs. There are no new inventions here, but this may be as close to "perfect" as formulaic shoegaze pop can get. Similarities to Jesus & Mary Chain, The Raveonettes, New Order, Ride, Asobi Seksu.
