Today's featured shit

This is great stuff. And if you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “dough.” “Playground Hustle” sounds like a happy Le Tigre song, sort of a “Friendship Station” without the sneer. “At Last” sounds like newer Cardigans, but not in an insulting way.
Other tracks remind me of another ’90s band: Ruby. Although this band is much more chipper than they were, the voice is the same. “The Bridge Is Broken” is a good example of this. So is “Tammie.”
The band is French, by the way. So I am guessing that that is the language “Unissassi Laulelet.” It has a similar style to Petra Haden’s “Moonmilk,” except with instruments thrown in.
Perhaps 15 tracks was too many. A few of these songs should have been relegated for EP B-sides. I’m talkin’ to you, “On My Shoulders” and “Aha.”
If you stick with the better songs, there’s something for everyone, especially if you came of age in the mid-90s or are a fan of Evanescence.
