The Brooklyn band bring more dimension to their sound on a magnetic second record that’s framed by a mix of analog technology and Y2K aesthetics.
Winston Hightower, 100 Acre Wood
The 14 songs featured on the Columbus native’s second album may be as short as the ones on its lo-fi predecessor, but they’re far more fleshed out with catchier and on-point rock music.
