When attempting to verbalize the emotionality of indie music, the first things that come to mind might reasonably be “serious,” “moody,” “bleak,” “butt-hurting,” “sob-story” … you get the idea. It’s an unfortunate rarity that “fun” will come up as an option on the allowed list of adjectives. Because indie music can’t be fun, right? Otherwise it’s decisively pop, right? Whatever. The Los Angeles-bred foursome just might be the proverbial bright spot in the modern indie scene that proves. - Brien Overly
