- (You’re Better) Than Ever
- Shape of My Hands
- Paying off the Happiness
Thoughts:
The Los Angeles-based band lead by Sarah Tudzin plays bubblegum rock songs with an edge, a style they call tenderpunk. Over the catchy melodies are lyrics with wit and whimsy of the woes of the twentysomething. My favorite track, the cheerful power pop of “Paying off Happiness” is about being in constant debt. As the young people say these days, it’s relatable.
