Phenomenal. It’s got that element of adolescence to it with those video game blips, but worn down a bit with its slightly melancholic distorted lo-fi vocals. Very indie airy dreampop but maintains an edge that refuses to let you take it for granted. When I listen to this band, I want to go for a walk straight into the pouring rain and know that my heart will go any which way it wants to go. It’s got that testament of optimism to it, the kind of brightness you catch accidentally as you breeze past your hanging mirror, trailing perfume and sweet warmth as you meander down the stairs to the street outside to let raindrops gather in your hair, kiss boys you don’t even know on the cheeks, tell them you love them just to hear yourself say the words, and not give a single damn. You can hear freedom in this track.

I’m seeing them next Tues, Sept 20 at Lee’s Palace, for only $13.50, and you should too.
