TOMORROW’S FORECAST

-

THEY ARE three resounding­ly gifted high-schoolers from the Gold Coast who dole out jammy, animated indie-rock better than bands who’ve been in the scene for twice as long as they’ve been alive. Their sound shines with a breezy, leather-jacket cool that makes four minutes feel like a snap of the fingers. None of the band’s members are old enough to drink, but their tracks feel perfectly suited to play in a hazy, dimly lit speakeasy.

THEY’RE FOR FANS OF Wolf Alice, Middle Kids and early San Cisco.

THEIR LATEST RELEASE IS “Room On My Shelf”, a cruisy slow-burner that simmers and swells with rugged, reverb-slicked strumming, glassy plucks and bewitching strings, over which Olive McCagh’s (goddamn angelic) lead vocal flows like custard over warm Christmas pudding. Last year’s “Ur Baby” is also essential listening, thanks in no short part to its visceral and volcanic guitar solo.
