Their novelty could otherwise be considered a strength, oddly, in this climate (musical/temperature). But yes. They are a little limited. I entirely agree with you, Garland.

A fuzzy, lo-fi, droning version of April March - which I love, because I love novelty genre mash groups. But these groups never last because eventually they get really good at the imitation, but aren't in a position to move away from that sound organically. Probably because they are being asked to go from writing musical fan fiction to writing something new? I don't know. I like the album, I just hope the next one is completely different.
