On their debut, unite all the disparate strands of their music. Just as it took a while for the band's lineup to jell, it took some time for them to blend all of their ideas -- but not as many years as their influences span. Thanks to and ' bright, clear vocals, are as deft at revisiting decades-old sounds on the surfy slow dance number "Homespun" and the title track's breezy psych-soul homage as they are at updating the heart-on-sleeve confessions of the 21st century.

As they update the timeless combination of an uplifting melody and heartbroken lyrics on "Gone," they find the common ground between pre-pop and '60s girl group swooning.
