Strawberry Generation - Afloat

You could throw a dart at the track list for Afloat and be thrilled with any song chosen. But in the interest of safety (for you and everyone else in the room, according to your grade school gym teacher) we recommend the easier and more rewarding route of purchasing the album. It is the debut album for the Providence, Rhode Island band Strawberry Generation. The uber-talented crew has given us plenty of previous reasons to love their music -- check out their four prior EPs linked at the bottom of the post -- but now we have a ten-song statement that announces their arrival in no uncertain terms. The band's sweet spot is sugary jangle pop, depicted in bright colors. But on most tracks there is a lot more going on than jangle and sweet hooks, and all of it is good.

Strawberry Generation are Luk Yean, Valerie Zhu, Alejandro Subiotto Marques, Dan Davis, and Max Naftol. Afloat is out now in digital and CD formats via Chicago's Sunday Records.
