Couple More..
A couple more reviews here. I think the Odd Box one is my favorite so far since they weren’t in to The Penguin League that much..
The LP is a million times better than it’s predecessor – the pop music on show here is clever and clear – the closest sister LP I can think of at the moment is the one I’ve just released by One Happy Island. Admittedly Antarctica Takes It! pop sound definitely carries more of a 60′s swing to it’s step. But after only a few plays I am falling more and more for the pop charms on offer here. Highly recommended.
Constellations takes the lo-fi spirit of their debut and introduces it to all the clarity, beauty and sparkling perfection that the modern recording process can offer without losing any of it’s charm. The album also broadens the palette with the lo-fi indie being expanded to include soaring Aislers Set-style pop, gorgeous Beach Boys-esque harmonising, the kind of stumbling, good-hearted folk that Bright Eyes might have produced in recent years, and a joyous, wild-eyed, creatively-ablaze energy that has you wondering what the hell he’s going to do next.
