I have long considered this at least in my top three indie pop records of all time; it has been on hard rotation for me every summer since I first heard this band. The best tracks, I can name three alone which more than justify this record by themselves, are whirlwinds of tempo changes, breakdowns, and colorful production choices. No other record I have come across offers this breadth of an instrumental and textural color palette across an entire record's worth of songs. Plus the songwriting is varied and most of the choruses are crazy catchy. Favorite tracks: Meantime, Up Up Up, Noche Nada, Ripe.

Note to self: need to find an interest in indie pop for better evaluation...

An absolutely harmless, yet nice, gayer Vampire Weekend/Arcade fire influenced record.

Not renowned for indie-pop, Louisiana has produced an extremely promising talent for the genre in Lafayette's Givers. Their debut LP 'In Light' takes you on a trip around the musical world, with subtle Cajun & funk influences differentiating the band from the pack. With all 5 members being multi-instrumentalists & a brilliant boy/girl vocal dynamic, an expansive array of sounds & influences are apparent. Creative & experimental without sacrificing accessibility, 'In Light' is without filler & begs for repeated listens to explore its numerous layers, rhythms & melodies. Recommended Tracks: Meantime, Up Up Up, Atlantic, Noche Nada & Ceiling of Plankton.
