Album Review: Little Sea - With You Without You

Sydney social media wunderkinds Little Sea have crafted a pretty solid pop release here, a polished and surprisingly detailed EP that stubbornly refuses to bend to cynical expectations (another bubble-gum boy band they’re not).

Production is bright and tangible with jangly guitars peeking out from behind a rich pop rhythm section and a vocalist whose range really pushes onward and upward. Change For Love is a fairly standard pop anthem punching above its weight for precisely that reason. Back To You and Friends offer subtle rock textures that elevate them above other carbon-copy pop songs.
