Studio album debut by The Jezabels. The style is unchanged from their 2009 and 2010 eps but the band may just be better at releasing singles and eps 'cause this is a bit inconsistent as it makes room for both strong and mediocre tracks. On the weaker tracks vocalist Hayley Mary sounds like a copy of Lana Del Rey, and sometimes I just hear too much U2 in some of the songs. Having said that, it's still interesting indie pop and dream pop, although, I prefer the sound on some of their previous releases.
