Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Melbourne quartet continues to refine their incredibly sharp, distinctly Australian iteration of jangly indie pop. 'Melbourne, Florida' slightly polishes their established 'dolewave' aesthetic, incorporating subtle brass and string arrangements alongside their signature dual-guitar interplay. The album is filled with remarkably witty, highly observational lyricism and effortless, breezy melodies.
