Release Notes:
It's a baker's dozen tracks of big, beautiful indie space pop
from this U.K. quintet led by Rob Hacker and Anne Gilpin. With
Gilpin's airy vocals front-and-center, the band easily moves
between the wall-of-noise sound of "Sequin Smile" and the
garden pop of "Ordinary Pleasures." Along the way there's some
synth-pop ("Funny Peculiar") and the dark n' moody "John
Young."
While Hacker sings lead on a few tracks, it's Gilpin's
evocative voice that creates the mood. Case in point is
"Nobody Understands," a sparse, waltz-time piece that ebbs,
flows and builds into a depressing tour de force. Also
standing out are the charming, quirky duet "Bob, Veronica and
Some Crickets" and the closer, a dreamy lullaby titled "Go to
Sleep."
