This trio, who've been together at least six years already, cagily mines some of the best guitar-based indie-pop sounds of the 1980s. What matters is that a band in Detroit can sound like this. (Let's call it power-twee? No, on second thought, let's definitely not.) Zak plays bass, Maria drums and sometimes sings, and Alex sings and plays guitar. This is music that could easily have been released on K Records, Sarah, or Flying Nun.
One song sounds like 14 Iced Bears but with a bridge worthy of Kleenex, another like the Clean meets the Pastels, and that fourth song sounds exactly like the moment when My Bloody Valentine morphed from a twee jangle-pop act into the heaviest buzzsaw shoegaze act ever. Or was it the fifth song? It doesn't matter. I have to remember to not miss them when they play.
