' first album made after their move from the neon swamps of Florida to the glittering lights of L.A. is just as bright and bubbly as their past work. In fact, the only thing and change on is the set of collaborators. Old friends 's are on board again, and this time of , fame, and most excitingly, join up to add their talents to the mix. are the stars, though, creating a sound that is warmly familiar while still delivering little jolts of sonic surprise along the way. A few of the most alluring are the funky guitar groove on "Konami," the dubby effects on "Loading Screen" that perfectly match the wry subject matter, the harps that trill magically through the enchanting "Moon Canyon Park," the free jazz sax solo on "Joyful Science," and the warped synths that frame the melancholy vocals on "Paraiso." While these novel sounds give the duo's already shiny surfaces something of a glow-up, one thing that didn't need any kind of upgrade or alteration is ' vocals. Her dulcet tones again prove to be up to any challenge, whether it's slinking gracefully through late-night soft rock on "Pacific Ave," crooning with birdlike simplicity on "Space Coast," or teaming with on one of the album's highlights, "Read the Room," a chugging -inspired rocker that thrillingly breaks out into little bursts of baroque metal guitar solos before swinging back into the groove. The extra layering of sound in the arrangements and the overall relaxed feel of the record mean that it's not quite as immediate as previous efforts; however, an extra bit of attention on the part of the listener will result in an experience that's suitably easy, breezy, and light, but also deeper and more resonant. It's clear that keep growing as writers and musicians, and where it might once have been reasonable to knock off a point or two for the novelty-adjacent nature of the songs, any traces of novelty have definitely worn off. What remains is purely enjoyable pop music that should appeal to anyone with a wide definition of the sound and an affinity for lightly seasoned melodies and full-to-the-brim arrangements. ~ Tim Sendra
