Album Notes & Community Reviews

Amy Linton's San Francisco-based indie outfit expands its sonic palette on their critically acclaimed sophomore release, heavily integrating dense wall-of-sound production techniques. 'The Last Match' perfectly balances the lo-fi charm of C86 jangle pop with the sweeping vocal harmonies of classic 1960s girl groups. The record is widely regarded as a definitive masterpiece of the American twee pop revival.
