twee/down understuff wonderstuff.
mal&fem vox, but mostly male. twee&Kiwi worship. Aussie accents are strong, ala Courtney Barnett. overall sound?: poppy yet subdued. relaxed&relaxy pop.
[note: first album was unanimously rejected at music meeting a couple years ago. sniffy comments, groupthink, everybody trying to 'outelite' each other, etc. I rescued&reviewed it. it got heavy airplay. because it's awesomeow. check it out. 'Coast To Coast' will put a smile on your face. you will feel like you are driving a convertible on a sunny day.]
