This is a very pleasant album…not amazing, but catchy and warm and friendly in a way that makes you feel as if you’ve already heard it your first time listening. Audible was founded by a couple of dudes from that band Matt Pond PA (Jim Kehoe and Mike Kennedy), and they are a five-piece outfit with that typical Polyvinyl/"we used to be emo but now write pop songs" There is a little bit of their sound that is akin to the Shins or New Pornographers or name your own popular indie-pop band. No doubt with the right push they could conquer big mountains, but only time will tell if that will happen. I’m rooting for them. It probably won't happen.
