Pretty & Nice - Get Young

Hardly Art has only been around for a year and a half, but the folks over there sure are wise beyond their talent-scouting age: proving once more with their latest release that the lable just can't miss. The record I'm cryptically raving about? Get Young, from Boston dude-trio Pretty & Nice. Part urgent falsetto-pop, part brash post-punk--all jams--these guys pack a ton of jerky, hairpin-ing melodies into an infectious, breakneck sound that their one-sheet aptly describes as "sharp-toothed, heavily-armed, snappish pop." Think Of Montreal with less disco and more garage.

The Pretty & Nice website currently features a link where you can stream the full record (do this!), and you can listen to (and download) the track "Tora Tora Tora" below.
