Lo-fi bedroom pop project out of Portland, originally released as a limited cassette. Excellent guitarwork, shoegazey effects, confessional lyrics in a slacker cadence—yup, sounds like it all adds up. FCC Clean. RIYL: Real Estate, Omni, Beach Fossils, Mac DeMarco, Ducktails TRY: 2, 3, 7
(1.) (3:50) Bleary, grungy lovesong. Triumphant extended guitar solos (*2.) (4:09) Scruffy, jangly, alt rock, with lots of great dynamic shifts and echoing reverb (*3.) (2:48) Driving and energetic with a groovy, almost rockabilly edge and lashing electric guitar solos (*4.) (3:51) Lackadaisical breezy indie rock. Think Real Estate, but with punchier guitar solos (5.) (4:00) Scorching guitar intro, detached vocals, bouncy guitar melodies (6.) (4:21) Jangly intro, reflective lyrics on aging. Layered and muddy (*7.) (3:26) Bright, bold guitar into lovesick lyrics. Washed-out grungy rock
(8.) (3:07) Gently-plucked acoustic ballad with subtle electric guitar elements. Great outro to the album
