Joyful
The Ohio four piece have drawn comparisons to Surfer Blood, Superchunk, and Nada Surf, all of which are very fitting reference points; Annabel's "Here We Are Tomorrow 7" is gloriously, sweetly catchy, drawing on the best aspects of power-pop, jagged alt-rock and old school emo. Opener, 'The Forgetting Of Names And Faces' (available to hear on their myspace) is a case in point; a deliciously immediate melody, layers of distorted noise fizz away warmly in the background and the vocal line is memorable and begs to be repeated.
The tunes on this release brim with breezy melodies, layer on the scuzzy guitar and delight with off kilter riffs resulting in five songs you crave to hear over an over, (undoubtedly singing along at the top of your voice) and they make you feel glad to be alive. An absolute delight.
