Overnight Sensation
Call me Indie Pop Pop Pop today, because this is yet another SOLID GOLD set of fun twee tunes with some nice weirdo lo-fi thrown in for good measure! You know you love it, and so do I. It’s a cool mix of old tunes from bands you love like Heavenly, Holly Golightly, and Even as We Speak, plus new tunes from bands you will love like Cyberbully Mom Club, Yellow Fang, and Love of Diagrams!
