Just when you thought Jack Johnson had a stranglehold on Hawaiian music exports, a band emerges from Oahu spewing strangely ambivalent lyrics. Could it be? Alienation in the land of the surf ballad? With the surging guitars and spoken-word ironies of early Nada Surf, this indie-pop foursome reminds us that teenagerdom is tough no matter where you live.
Indie-pop with a raw, lo-fi sound. Music stripped down to just its most essential, minimal, and honest core. From the island of Oahu.
