This is a fuzzy pop punk trio led by the vocals of Sarah Blumenthal who is joined by one member of Late Bloomer on bass and vocals and one ex-member of It Looks Sad on drums. Soundwise, it is closer to Late Bloomer than It Looks Sad, but Lemuria and Cayetana are listed in the blurb and it translates into their sound too. The lead track “Mixed Signals” is the kind of infectious indie rock/pop punk that Cayetana go for. “Cold Feet” is upbeat and shouty while “Watercolors” slows things down a bit and has a moodier side. The final track on here has more than a dose of melancholy which would lead me to mention Cayetana again. It’s a promising set of songs all round.
