Multi-instrumentalists Kenseth Thibideau (Pinback) and Zac Nelson (Hexlove) took time out from their other multiple musical endeavors to join forces on this melodic synth-pop confection. Smart and sophisticated songs are presented in a laid-back manner that suggests home-studio spontaneity and chummy off-the-cuff collaboration. The unschooled vocals share a certain Ween-ishness, adding to the informal feel.
