LA-based New Zealand-esque indie pop band “Smokescreens” hit back with their second album, Used to Yesterday. After a careful gleaning of the album title, it could be considered ironic, seeing as how it’s a slight change from the Kiwi noise pop from their eponymous album which begs to ask the question – can you get used to yesterday? Used to Yesterday, unfolds as an animated portrait full of the characters and desires that define a life, and reveals a sound alive with possibility and anticipation. Like: Star Tropics, The Clean, Young Scum, Clearance FCC Clean Play: 4,6,9 1.Someone New (2:49) Fuzzy guitars painting an easy listening, simplistic, melodious journey. 2.Used To Yesterday (2:19) Static power-pop with melodic shinny impulses. 3.The Lost Song (3:14) Fantastic blend of kiwi and power pop. 4.Jolly Jane (2:06) Upbeat standout track, makes it difficult not to listen to over and over again. 5.Buddy (3:41) Melancholic garage wall of sound takes you on a nostalgic journey to yesteryears. 6.Waiting For Summer (4:11) 12-string jangler with a hooky melody and a classic subject. 7.Steel Blue Skies (3:45) a nice cover of the obscure '80s New Zealand band Wasp Factory. 8.Fool Me (1:53) Mines country-pop territory with some sad slide guitar. 9.It's Not Right (2:45) Hypnotic track flows with an intimate, melancholic growth. 10.Falling Down (3:03) Honey-soaked melody strewn all throughout, chorus and verse. | ||
