Filtering the classic romanticism of Dusty Springfield and the Shangri-Las through their own kaleidoscopic aesthetic, these songs pulse with an alluring mixture of melancholy and hopeful innocence, as warm and inviting as it is elusive and peculiar. While detailed and carefully crafted, it possesses a new found brevity and directness rooted in the excitement of creation. Ultimately, 'Strange Hearts' is the sound of a young band testing its limits and finding that it hasn't hit them yet.
