New music Friday! Two anticipated albums that have met my expectations:
The Besnard Lakes - A Coliseum Complex Museum
These guys have yet to release a bad album, in my opinion. While they've mastered this kind of sweeping, epic quality in their music, it is starting to sound a bit samey. I'm thoroughly enjoying this album, but I hope to hear some more growth by the next one. There are more synth flourishes in this particular album, so I hope that's a hint towards a new direction.
Chairlift - Moth
These guys have honed in their indie-pop craft into a science. Every song is catchy and enjoyable. I think "Something" is still the stronger album, but I really can't complain.
