If you like Power Pop, this is the best album so far this year. To counter the sweetness of the pop, Mikal adds crunchy guitar similar to his cohort Ty Segall (in fact Ty plays on two songs). I like this album more than Ty's "Twins". Ty cranks his amps to 11 and leaves them there the entire album which leads to a somewhat fatiguing listen. Mikal knows when to back it off by adding slower acoustic tinged numbers like "Peace of Mind", "Don't Let Me Go" and "Piano Mantra". Favorites are " Weight", "Shout It Out" and "Change".
If you are a fan of either Power Pop or Ty Segall, you should definitely give it a try.
