The debut full-length from this trio who are based in Grand Rapids, Michigan features ten tracks of ho-hum jangly guitar pop that suggests that songwriter Jacob Bullard holds The Beatles in high regard.
After preferring home recordings, he and the band decided they were ready to risk a recording studio but still opt to play the tracks live.
If the idea is to sound edgy and spontaneous then the 'experiment' is a failure.
The sleepy breeziness might sound nice on the car radio as non-distracting background music but lacks any real sense of excitement or urgency.
