This was the result of an effort to find something new and indie. I chose this because its British and the 30-second samples were intriguing. Female lead vocals with male backing, lots of 60's treatments a la Mamas & Papas, yet set within an early 80's Georgia scene musical palate, maybe REM "Murmur" for reference, even jotted down Blondie, but that was a fleeting ring. Energetic but too militaristic for me, growing monotonous during a full spin, but piece by piece could be a success at college radio. One of the two keepers was actually a pre-release single, curiously the final track of the record...
I'm sure you younger readers will have comparisons to other current bands I am not familiar with, but I don't really want to know them, either...
