Woozy, softly psychedelic dream pop from San Francisco. Support local musicians! Shoegaze soaked, with a hazy sheen and a bit twee. The lead singer’s favorite band is Cocteau Twins, which makes a lot of sense. All tracks FCC Clean. RIYL: Asobi Seksu, Dummy, Alison's Halo, Mazzy Star, Kumoyo Island, Maylee Todd
*1. (3:45) Bleary indie rock with a nice bounce and sliding strings and fuzzy guitar
*2. (5:57) Jangly intro leads into a stompy indie rock number with blistering electric guitar and spacey effects
3. (3:32) Big, epic, drum build up, sashays into sassy dream pop with bright keyboard, fuzzy guitars, and nicely layered vocals
4. (4:23) Slower, dreamier, nostalgic, wistful. Lots of Canterbury 60's/70's influence
5. (6:51) Strings-forward dream pop which gains intensity and ends kinda noisy and swirly
*6. (3:59) Acoustic intro with gentle lullaby vocals. Song fades at the halfway mark and lush flutes, violin, and birds chirping carry you through the end of the song. Quite nice and mellow
