Great review. I agree with basically everything but the score, but I see why you'd give it that.

The only Animal Collective-y sounds I'm hearing are the drums - and they're way more MPP than Feels.



What they're doing is done well, just really lighthearted

im afraid to ever look at a picture of this band because this girl's voice has a set a ridiculously cute precedent for her, not sure if she can live up to it

People hating this because it's derivative but liking Cloud Nothing I don't get it.



This sounds like something I should hate, but I don't.

it's not a question of the derivation per se, rather how it's pulled off. I personally can appreciate ripping off if it's done tastefully, sometimes almost in a coy or insidious way. I can't help but feel that this band sort of fetishizes their influences, sort of makes it more about the bands they're imitating then their actual execution of the imitating or performance.

I understand that, sometimes a band can sound forced, like Mumford & Sons and it's distractingly derivative. At some point you have to find your own voice in the influences, I think Braids do, to a certain extent, but I mean it's certainly not an earth shattering record in my books. Probs a 3.5
