The Layaways - We`ve Been Lost |
The Layaways don`t come at you with a wall of sound. A wall of sound can be intimidating -- it can tower over the listener and threaten to fall on them. What we have here instead is more of a bed of sound. And a big, comfortable bed it is, too. The Layaways have the shoegaze and blissful dreampop down the way it should be. It`s a compelling mix of modern indie pop with classic vocal harmonies and new wave eighth-note rhythms. Think of Yo La Tengo covering the Cars and My Bloody Valentine. "We`ve Been Lost" is a melodic, 11-song collection that mixes new-wave-influenced indiepop with hints of folk and psychedelica. Porter and Harrell`s songs and vocals combine to create a catchy sound that has drawn comparisons to Guided By Voices, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and the Pernice Brothers.
