So many things happening on here. Pop hooks followed by tempo shifts followed by contemplative parts followed by instrumental bursts and then tempo shifts again, in a single song. My third listen and yet feel like I've listened to three different records. Fascinating pop record.
"I am the type of girl buses splash with rain." This is rapidly escalating up my favourite albums of 2014 list. The latest in a long line of America twee, lo-fi, hopeless romantics that includes Jonathan Richman, Beat Happening, The Moldy Peaches. Simple sentiments and youthful abandon abound. "I wanna go dancing in the public eye." Its songs are often too short for their own good, but the brevity is refreshing and welcome in a time where sprawling epics, like Reflektor or Random Access Memories, appear to making some sort of comeback in the public/Pitchfork consciousness. It's honest, heartwarming, likely to paint a big, stupid grin across your face. Or you might hate it for being a nothing record about nothing. "I'm bitter like olives, that's why you like them and I don't."
