Guess what? It’s an EP. “Grass Is Glowing” is up first and reminds me of a less-sassy Sahara Hotnights. That’s fine. Maybe they’re young still, like Smoosh, or Ciara. “What’s Going on in Your World” has a very British feel to it, like early Doors, only, of course, with female vocals.
“Applesweet” has more of an early 2000s feel, along the lines of The Softies or Heavenly. In fact, if you grab an old Pipettes track from before they signed with a major, they sounded like this too, compelte with organ. This is what I expected the whole album to sound like, but I’m not exactly disappointed. The other tracks are awesome as well.
“Sunshine in Space” takes it a step further with the keyboard and reminds me of the Icicles, although the singing rocks a little bit more. “Technicolor Electric” is more psychedelic than the others.
Musically, the tracks are on the simpler side. It’s one step from being polished, and that might be the point. All the ingredients are there, and you can’t help but root the band along. If they release a full-length next, you can bet that they’ll be putting it all together.
