The Mary Onettes mini album 2014

Postby empyrean » Wed Feb 26, 2014 11:31 am

For years now, Swedish indie Labrador has brought some of the best indie-pop around to a greater consciousness, and the Mary Onettes' "Naive Dream" is no different: taken from the mini-album Portico out March 4, the tune carries over the strongest points of the blissful Swedes' most recent LP, last year's Hit the Waves, with shoegazey textures that accurately reflect the vaguely colored square-inside-a-square featured on the album art.

Based on the track above, ortico is going to be a lot better than Hit the Waves.

It couldn't be much worse. I like what I'm hearing, but Hit the Waves was just so mopey. They've lost a lot of punch in their sound - that poppy bite that made them so fun to listen to. Hope more of it comes back in this release.
