From the sound of it, this is the sort of band you have to see live to get a good feel for them, because it takes some effort to get over the "dude-in-a-basement" quality level of recording here before you can really get into this album.

From the sound of it, this is the sort of band you have to see live to get a good feel for them, because it takes some effort to get over the “dude-in-a-basement” quality level of recording here before you can really get into this album. All sound issues aside, the tunes are great, a sort of belty indie-pop that’s so cheery, it just manages to avoid “annoying” and comes out “endearing.” Mix in a little banjo, harpsichord synths, and some friendly tunes, and it’s worth getting over the less-than-par quality to give it a listen.
