It's not even necessary to enjoy all 11 tracks here to understand that the Burning Hotels' great accomplishment -- indeed, the quality that most persuasively touts them -- is the creation of consistently engaging pop melodizing that grabs up listeners and throttles them into bliss: jangling guitars, harmonies that endear, infectious constructions, and indefatigably shiny movement. Blindingly vivid, giddily animated. One appreciates participating.
(PS. Thanks to Kaytea xo for the tip!)
Caught a link to your site via the Burning Hotels facebook. Nice work. We just reviewed the album as well and thought you might be interested.
