Reviewed 2013-04-17
Pacific Northwest (orig. Portland, now Seattle) pleasant 50s surf pop with all the edges worn down like sea glass. Songs are all short and pleasant (even when dryly bitter), with active bass lines and guitar accents rather than leads. Pick one (other than #4) and slip into an alternate universe where Pat Boone, not Dylan, went electric.

1. med, male vox buried in the mix, chiming guitars
2. * med+, bass melody
3. * med+, nice 50s walking bass and echoed guitar
4. FCC ("who she fucks"), med(+),clean pseudo-noir
5. med(+), a little swing-ish
6. * med, pleasant tones cover bitter lyrics
7. med, slight bossa nova feel
8. med(+), sing-songy and rolling
9. med+, swells in minor key bridge
10. * med, bitter lyrics, most "contemporary" sounding
11. med(+), more actively bitter
