... that less really can be more, a sounds that pitches it's tent somewhere between The Sundays and JennyLewis and the Watson Twins . The songs included on ‘Acoustic At Olympic Studios’ re-imagine the texturized dream-pop of the band’s three previous full-lengths, February’s Hush , Citrus (2006) and Asobi Seksu (2004).

JennyLewis with the Watson Twins: Rabbit Fur Coat 2006, Rough Trade Don’t get me wrong: I really, really like Rilo Kiley. But I loved flame-haired frontwoman JennyLewis’ solo debut.

But with a couple more rounds you can see the potential that’s been brought together with Destry . “Don’t Forget Me” and “Home Isn’t Home” are probably the strongest examples of how this record is so easy to listen to. That’s exactly what it is – likeable folk pop....
