Indie Rock Done Right
This album has been on heavy rotation for me since I purchased it. Each track stands on its own merit as a solid entry in the annals of good music. There is a nice variety here, in this compact release, with song tempos ranging from frenetic to luxuriously gentle. Chris and Ray each have distinct vocal styles that can either stand at the front of a track or work in the background to add a delicious harmony to the music. I often measure the quality of an album by the number of times it gives me goosebumps. Ship to Shore gives me braille arms often enough that I know it is atypically good. These guys are masters of the musical breakdown. In sum, if you want to experience a rich, warm, literate and emotive type of indie rock, then you should download this album and give it prominence in your current playlist. I have a feeling it will stay there.
