New Zealand week continues!
A band deeply influenced by all things dense and pretty. The album is sometimes very Beach Boys and Beatles, and sometime *very* Beach Boys (Function of the Sun) and Beatles (that She's So Heavy riff on Birthday on Mars), with plenty of Flaming Lips shimmer and whimper for good measure (Trepidation Part 2) and a bonus dusting of late-era Beck all about. The Shins too. Oh No Oh My. I could go on.
And it *is* pretty! Dense with prettiness! But none of it really sticks, washing into your memories of its comebefores. A perfectly agreeable, disposable piece of breezily arty, poppy indie 3/5
