Having already moved on from their early, folk-inflected sound on 2015's
, Los Angeles'
further embrace a sophisticated '80s vibe on their third album, 2018's aptly titled
. The band's first recording since the departure of co-founding member
,
finds the group once again splitting lead vocals and songwriting duties between singer/instrumentalist
and singer/instrumentalist
. While that kind of shared responsibility could threaten to make the album feel disjointed,
manage to retain a cohesive, if still stylistically varied, sound throughout
. This is true even when they shift gears, moving from the tidal wave emotionality of
's bass-heavy ballad "Be Good to Me" to the kinetic dance-pop of
's "Young at Heart." Elsewhere, they split the difference, harmonizing on the
"Slow" and the rootsy, country-tinged "Your Eyes." They also strike a pleasing balance on the slick, disco-imbued soft rock of "Your Eyes" and the driving "Wolves," which sounds improbably like '80s
with
on guitar. ~ Matt Collar
