The new EP from New York’s favorite pop outfit has a little something for everyone. The opening title track offers up a delightful indie pop song that burns its melody into your brain within about 5 seconds. This is juxtaposed nicely by the second track, “Arbuckle’s Swan Song” which has a smooth, almost 60’s crooner style about it. Where do we go from there?

How about a live cover of “Fearless” by Pink Floyd (done tastefully, but isn’t breaking any barriers) and then an assortment of demo and home recordings that the band has collected. While maybe not the most coherent collection of songs ever thrown onto a disc, all of these songs have their own charm about them and all are worthy of repeated listening.
