Fuzzy distorted psych pop/ "flower punk" out of New Orleans. Mostly upbeat stuff that's a little bit lo-fi. Lots of treble in their sound but really well balanced with fuzz bass. Vox pretty high, sounding at times like either Woods/Of Montreal. Pretty cool; recommended if you play any kind of pop on your show.

RIYL: all things Elephant 6, GBV, Jacuzzi Boys, Woods

*1 (2:25) Fuzzy guitars, midtempo, high-pitched softer vox, distorted power pop
*2 (1:45) FCC very faint "oh shit" right away. Bouncy, energetic, handclaps, some jangle
*3 (3:05) Punky, growling/jangling guitars first half, lots of distortion. Slows down a lot then warps into a weird psychedelic twist thing
4 (2:50) Slower with sunny bassline, loads of effects and switches between guitar styles. Loud, distorted ending
5 (4:26) Ballad over light noisy percussion+jarring guitars, some kind of soaring indie rock stuff builds into a screamer w/ vox like early screaming Win Butler. Cool fuzz bass. Noisy ending
