Abba-swagger, ice cream shop-pop circa 1960s, cogent+chilling tense+dense electronics, a proper rock n' roll song just for kicks -- the warm+wonderful catch being the bulk of it filtered through a subaqueous vhs-muck of sorts with general spectrality throughout. If somehow forced to make a wager, I'd say at least two songs are slow-mo'd, at least one guitar solo is a sample, and "Window Shades" would've been a surefire hit in 1976; then you've got sinking ships and wobbly-riddle noise in the mix. U.S. Girl Meghan Remy is both show-runner and cake-icer: haunting and passionate and even grandiose when applicable with uncanny vintage charm, does her own backups, knows a good hook but commits to the weird, starts by abhorring her husband's familial whoring and finishes with the promise of a presumably permanent black limousine send-off.
