The Big Takeover reviews “Similar”
The Big Takeover has shared this review of “Similar”:
What the Chicago quintet has always done so well, and what they certainly do here, is make music that echoes those heady days of the late 20th century, where rock energy and pop infectiousness were deftly woven together to create a vibrant and vital indie scene.
But that was then, and this is now, and now is about taking the spirit of those times,, that era’s sonic vibe, and bringing it brilliantly up to date. This they do by embracing those great rock riffs and indie-pop infectiousness, pulling off a great balancing act of drive and deftness, and, in turn, blending that familiarity with a freshness which comes from beguiling electronica and cool keyboard runs.
