Have changed much in the last few years of recording lo-fi, near-twee goodness? Not a whole lot. Listen to “This Love is Fucking Right!,” a standout track off their 2009 debut. And then listen to “Heart in Your Heartbreak” off the band’s latest, “Belong.”
Sure, “Heart in Your Heartbreak” is ten times more polished than “This Love is Fucking Right!,” but the similarities are uncanny. While it’s easy to miss the fuzzed-out charm of the band’s early days, they’re staying true to their initial sound: Simple structure, detached vocals, brash guitars and Smiths-like melodies.
THIS LOVE IS FUCKING RIGHT!
And …
HEART IN YOUR HEARTBREAK
