Sound: Subtle and intricate indie rock that borders on messy but holds together with an understated and irregular pulse
Vocals: Fragile, unrefined and reserved, except for a few explosive moments
Lyrics: Descriptive, confessional and odd with repeated catchphrases that stumble into memorable hooks
Heavy Rotation tracks: “Karen“; “Mr. November“; “Secret Meeting”
Medium Rotation tracks: “Abel“; “Baby We’ll Be Fine”
Recommended: To indie rock fans who like albums that don’t quite grab you at first, but slowly reel you in upon repeated listens.
Grade: B
