Breath of fresh , albeit cool, air If SoCal bands Best Coast and Wavves embodied Summer, then this album is surely Winter.Flowing, majestic, occasionally sharp for only a brief instant before it dissapates into a melody (such as standout tracks Undertow and Shadows). PJ Harvey,The Sundays and Cocteau Twins are in here, although the music certainly stands alone from it’s influences. Songs such as Baby even channel a little Hope Sandoval, from the Mazzy Star days.The production is top notch. Instruments layered…
