It’s hard to categorize what these guys sound like since they oscillate between high-octane and chillax faster than you can say ‘bring an Ambulance, I’m Staring at a Wolf Like Me.’
Nevertheless, I’ve recently been getting back into Dear Science, their latest album that they put out in September of last year. While Return to Cookie Mountain and Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes had a few tracks here and there that I really liked, I feel that this one’s by far the most consistent – granted, I’m a sucker for hand claps and strings anyway.
