I had never heard of this band from Philadelphia, but their album showed up as a free download from Amazon, so I thought I'd give it a try. The music is somewhere between alt rock and ambient dream pop, and is very nice. This is yet another band with a male and a female vocalist who trade off the lead and harmonize, which is a format I tend to fall for. The songs are catchy, with a hint of the currently-in-vogue '60s girl-group vibe, and the lyrics are clever. On the down side, this album includes many of the tropes of the current hipster sound. When a track from this album pops up on my iTunes party mix, I can immediately tell it's from the past two or three years, but can't put my finger on the artist.
While it didn't knock my socks off, I liked this, and I'm glad I took a chance on them.
