#1672 The American Analog Set - The Fun of Watching Fireworks

No escaping the Yo La Tengo comparison, down to the boy/girls, the drones.

I think, given the band name / album cover, that I'm supposed to be in love with all the little details of this recording, but there's not enough here, the long sections lacking heft and pacing, the pop moments not landing, the wispy singing drifting past unheard. It's lazy, stumbling as ambient and doing too little to rise above it 2.5/5
