Album Review: Hospitality - Trouble

Oftentimes bands release pop records that are so full of noise that there's never a chance to catch your breath or fully appreciate the competing elements of each song. Brooklyn three-piece Hospitality have, in Trouble, avoided any such risk, and the results are great.

Despite the inclusions of the occasional synthesizer or string section, the clear, concise sound that fills the album fits somewhere in between a more melodic Dick Diver, Real Estate and The New Pornographers. It's an approach that works wonders for Hospitality, and shows that often in music, less is more.
