I never heard of these guys before and I haven’t used cassettes in years but openminded as I am I decided to give “Shining Like A New Dime” a try nevertheless. How gracious of me, right? Anyway, this female-fronted indiepop outfit likes their songs mellow with a bit of ukulele here and a whole lot of cello in the others. But it’s kinda like a cowbell, right? You can never have enough cello. Oh, and the fact that the vocalist at times sounds a bit like Tany Donelly doesn’t hurt things either.
They still have a lot of work to do… like the semi off-key singing at times and some of the arrangements could use some more work (“Bridge Building” anyone ? Yikes!) but the intention is there.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
