A near-perfect quiet anthem for the girls it speaks of and to.



You see why people are getting excited over the Brooklyn trio. They've found that often elusive balance between the electronic and the human. There's an awkward jerky grace as their little thought processes unfurl. Kelly Zutrau's voice comes with a perfect clarity and doubt in songs like Don't Want To Be Your Girl, where she steps carefully around the little keyboard snippets without tripping over them or herself. And in Dreams, with its little arcs and outbreaks of restrained emotion, its hopes are articulated. A near-perfect quiet anthem for the girls it speaks of and to.
