This is some gorgeous indie rock that’ll grab you if you like a 90s twist along the way. They come from Long Island and put a demo out absolutely ages ago which was really good but this is another step up from there. The vocals are lovely and remind me of someone like Juliana Hatfield – just a voice I can listen to all day. The guitars are jangly but still have a nice amount of drive. A side “Somersault” is mid-paced and led by that lovely jangly guitar sound (I need another word similar to jangly but when I looked up some synonyms on the internet it gave me a load of words like “cacophonous”, “immusical” and “grating” which is definitely not what I mean!). Over on the B side is “Hutch” which is slower but still packs a little kick as it breaks in and picks up the pace. Both these tracks are laced with melancholy and have a poppy slant. If you like bands like Pohgoh and Lindsay Minton’s solo stuff I think you’re going to like this. I’ve been flipping this 7inch over and over constantly this week.
