Local girl group (teens?). Sweet retro surfy sock hop flavor, intense 3 part girl harmonies and jangly guitars with just right amount of reverb etc to make it retro but firmly seated in modern production and sentiment (they even use cool modern effects on the vocals now and then). I cant picture this band being big retro nazi’s having to have Vox amps and nothing made after 1969. Still they have that sound, hand claps, sweet and pure, simple pop. Tommy James and the Shondelles, Rasperries, Beach Boys, Ronettes, Best Coast, Hollygolightly come to mind. Great stuff. Very “meow” worthy. All tracks are really really good.
1) (3:30) surfy girl pop with a sultry beat
2) (3:55) sweet sock hop 50’s hand-claps beat but contemporary twee pop feel with awesome rich girl harmonies, melodies
3) (3:46) surfy swingy
4) (3:44) ballady title track, surfy sweet love song, lovely, false ending in middle shifts to slow dance waltz, awwwww….
5) (3:20) another sweet song
6) (3:33) multifaceted: starts ballady then midway shifts into a rockin kind of thing, toward ends gets fuzzy and more rockin
7) (2:46) swingy bouncy
8) (3:37) upbeat hand clappy rocking
9) (4:26) more sweetness, upbeat pop with a bass that stands out, lots of 3 part harmonies: WARNING this ends with 41 seconds remaining, then with 20 secs remaining some studio noodling with piano, guitar, and voices
