The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
“gaze”
Cutesy indie pop with girl vocals, girl-played, sweet and nice. This has Rose Melberg (Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, the Softies, her own self) on drums and backing vocals. She’s playing with somewhat like-minded folks. Softly strummed guitars and sweet melodies and harmonies, all approached in a musically innocent way. Some of this wears on me a bit, but there are good songs on here.
