The band makes no bones of its affection for '60s and '70s psychedelia, but 'Africa Avenue' quietly tiptoes around easy comparisons, mutating itself into something more textured and intricate, and maybe leaning more towards avantpop. Nevertheless, the albums mainly finds its groove in its unabashed melodicism and pop hooks. A breath of fresh air and without a doubt, the band's most accomplished effort to date. Edition on black vinyl, including download.
