So what's the fuss about this, yet another Brooklyn-NYC-indie band? Well, it's the sheerly fascinating culmination of sounds that make this one stand out. In a reasonably brisk 46 minutes and 11 tracks, this record manages to transcend the many faces of Pop, Freak Folk, Psychedelic and Afro-beat into a very cohesive record, and that's only half the fun.

For instance, the first three songs are pretty straight up indie-rock but with a decent introduction to their overbearing sound; including the fantastic '2080' which, if isn't a summer classic this year, has been unfairly treated, with it's wonderful feel-good summery sound and perhaps is the answer to anyone that ever got frustrated with Panda Bear's pure outright refusal to be even a little bit compromising.

But then on it gets really interesting. With the relatively approachable part of the record out the way, the album progresses into a world of rich sounds and generally intriguing music. 'No Need to Worry' for instance tips its hat at Pink Floyd without ever going too far down that road, adding another brick into the wall of sound this album walks into.

Because when this album reaches it's final quarter, it just beams with glory with the fantastic exploration of sound it's reached, incorporating all the aforementioned genres and sub-genres. 'Wait for the Wintertime' has an absolutely massive sound about it, but doesn't float off too much, and then it becomes the fantastic 'Worms/Waves' duo which brilliantly executes everything that's gone on before. And just when you think it's over, they pack in a heart-warming finale in the folky 'Red Cave' with it's cheery interlude 'I'm so blessed to have a good time/with my family, and my friends, I love/in my short life, i've met so many people/I deeply care for'

And so, other than the only slight misstep in 'Forgiveness' this is a near flawless album and an excellent debut from the New Yorkers, who here's hoping have very big things ahead of them.
