Sweet sweet pop music. It’s gotta be always spring time where this band plays. Light and airy, with clouds drifting and children playing. Some nice notes thrown in by Eric Matthews, and some good music to do that running in the park in slow motion to. The spaciousness in the music lends to a laid back feel, but the songs are still moving upbeat and melodic. Maybe hints of bands like Ivy, and touches of Air in the keyboards. Groovy tunes for groovy people, and it’s always nice to hear some pure happiness in the bitter mix of life.
