An alluring, quietly intricate but also beautiful fourth LP by the Los Angeles quartet, whose last was in September 2016, and while the world has churned upside down since, their return is wonderfully welcome. From the lazy sunny haze start of the building climax of Champion with melting guitar and bass sounds, precedes the dancier, rhythmic, syncopated Hips with some quirky vocal additions. Hard To Tell You, which at times has the quality of Liz Fraser from Cocteau Twins, details the pain of a nobody’s-fault breakup. Stevie is a gorgeously beautiful slower number. Like Sweetness is spacey, woozy and sexy. Trouble is a moodier ballad, and Melting slides into accepting love. A seductive, cerebral, sensual return that rewards the more you listen. Out on Virgin Records.
