The Very “The Discovery”

April 29, 2012

They seem like really nice people. It reminds me of Run for Cover Lovers and Operation Makeout. The singing is a little off-key, and the instrumentation is all individually good, but when you put it all together, the pieces don’t fit.
The only song I really like is “Humdrum,” which describes the rest of the album. This one is kind of like Bis, but the woman’s voice is less frenetic. Not all the tracks have female vocals, but this isn’t just me being me. The other songs are just lacking.
