Lightning Echoes
One Tiny Bright Spot
Self-Relesed, 2018
7/10
Self-described as 'smart-pop', multi-instrumentalists Kaitlin Deavy and Alejandro Zarazua decorate their straight forward melodies with complicated music on this first EP. Though the quick listen starts out with busy, synth heavy indie-rock where the sounds are as large as the memorableness, it doesn't take long until “In Circles”, which sounds nothing like Sunny Day Real Estate, brings the duo into playful folk-pop. The EP ends with the maudlin moment, where both sing a dreamy, reflective, sparse conclusion.
This Vancouver pair are really onto something here; a (hopefully) forthcoming album should be on everyone's radar, especially if you still revisit The Postal Service LP.
