The Los Angeles band's debut full length blends pop smarts, propulsive, grungy rhythms, and the sensitive vocals of its singer Brian Aubert. Combining elements of Smashing Pumpkins and fey Britpop with a wide-eyed innocence, songs like "Little Lover's So Polite" and "Well Thought Out Twinkles" exude an infectious, joyous energy that propels their hooks and choruses into the subconscious.
