on the heavy hittin' Dead Oceans label (2009)
Three best friends from Portland-via-Chicago-via-Idaho just released this focused, playful record--their second--of stripped down freak-folk. Each track is based on one or two core hooks, out from which like concentric circles build layers of jug band drums and flurries of piano keys and oddball electronic noise. It's experimental, yet steadfastly pop. Start with "Lita" or "Caterpillar Playground" and go on to repeat album listens from there.
