This is my personal ideal type of indie pop. The Siren begins with Snow, a tantalizingly
beautiful piece. Ironically, it does not bring to mind a dreary snow day. Rather, it
invokes an lucid dream-like state of one lying in an open field, beneath a clear and
inviting nighttime sky. It is very much reminiscent of Air France's track Maundy Thursday
with less horns and more harmonizing and guitar. The Siren is very driven by swaying
exchange between the bass provided by the piano, the distorted guitars, and phenomenal
harmonizing. Likewise to Storm, Storm's the name is entirely misleading as the is not so
much chaotic as it is serene. The real stand out track of the album is Stars. It is a bit
more of your traditional indie pop, starting with a quick drum-line before dissolving as the
vocals start.
Perhaps the best way to describe this is a far more accessible and straightforward Formation
of Tides by Ennui (for better or for worse, however in this case, it is very difficult to
tell which is better than the other as both are excellent).
