Subpop delivers again and proves they still have an eye for new talent. This album will go down in my book as one of the best releases of 2013. Definitely in the top 10.
It's difficult to describe the sound. There is something reminiscent of U2 or maybe a little VAST in the chord arrangements. The album reminds me of a time and a place not so long ago, when music could be the sound track to your life.
The opening track "The Trip" is lush and with the softest hint of synth work, the obvious fruit of a singer songwriter polished into a beautiful production, even though there is no official video I encourage you to check it out.
They then head into shoegazer territory with "Endless Summer", a gauze and muslin hazy recollection of lazy summer days and the promise of new affection.
