Where golden-age guitar-pop meets the restless edges of jangle: Vain Pursuit delivers "the simultaneous sound of hope and despair" wrapped in dreamy jangle-pop textures and a post-punk undertow on debut album Meaningless Miles, while Few Border blends subtle gaze inflections with beautifully lucid jangled riffs found with consummate ease. Sorry Monks evoke the golden age of guitar-pop without veering into pastiche — think Mamas and Papas meets Between The Buttons era Stones — and Victims of the New Math takes jangly alt. lo-fi pop deep into its own singular, unconventional song structures.

“Able to juxtapose all manner of aural layers with fuzz that whirrs and grinds with the most jangly of melodic underlays”
