This is perfect for fans of murmuring New York guitar rock. Songs smoulder as the guitars of Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan (now joined by drummer Ryan Sawyer) dance around each other as if they’re in some musical double-helix, sometimes in opposition, sometimes falling in together, sometimes chiming, sometimes pulsating. There’s a clear Sonic Youth inspiration - opener ‘So Messed Up’ is a spiritual brother of SY’s Daydream Nation - while ‘Blue in the Dark’ starts with a Television jangle until it goes into Neil Young overdrive and ‘Hippies’ has a quiet intensity like a bong-passing Galaxie 500. Like their excellent first album, it’s a hazy and moody psychedelic folk record, born of the city but able to speak with a country accent to tell tales about star-cross’d lovers (‘Secrets and Lies’) in an aching, regretful tone.
