From the ice cream paint job of Jesse Locke:
Glorious jean-jacket jangle from a young Vancouver trio yet to celebrate their one-year birthday. This EP is a quickie, but I haven’t come across many finer mission statements than opener “Words For Others” in 2013. The Josef K-styled speak-sing of frontman Kyle Thiessen hovers above glistening guitarmonies and Feelies twitch throughout three minutes in heaven. Hat tip to Jay Arner for another production home run.
De la job de peinture à la crème glacée de Jesse Locke:
(Traduit par Jacinthe Laplante)
Un brillant tintamarre de veste de jean d’un jeune trio de Vancouver qui n’a pas encore célébré son premier anniversaire. Cet EP est bref, mais je ne suis pas tombé en 2013 sur un meilleur énoncé de mission que l’ouverture « Words For Others ». Le style chanté-parlé à la Josef K du leader Kyle Thiessen erre dans les harmonies polies de guitare et les tics à la Feelies pendant trois minutes au paradis. Je tire mon chapeau à Jay Arner à la production pour un autre coup de circuit.
