It combines Strokes-esque musicality with a dash of indie-pop optimism.<\/p>\n<p>With each track offering a youthful burst of energy, <em>Young Chasers<\/em> is a blast. The lyrics, while not particularly revolutionary, are relatable and fun. The only real downside is that the songs are all structured very similarly, which leads to the whole album sounding more like one 40 minute track than a collection of individual songs. Listening to the entire thing all the way through can get a little tiring, but the tracks are strong enough to stand on their own \u2013 and may actually be more enjoyable when heard that way.<\/p>\n<p>If you dig The Strokes and their contemporaries, Circa Waves is definitely a band worth checking out. <em>Young Chasers<\/em> is pretty good for a debut album \u2013 but you may want to consider putting your favorites on a mix rather than listening to the entire thing in one sitting.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: The Strokes, The Kooks, Army Navy<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (Get Away), 2 (T-Shirt Weather), 7 (Young Chasers), 8 (Good for Me), 12 (So Long)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Hannah Nelson on 09\/16\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first full-length release from Circa Waves is a refreshing burst of energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5988,"featured_media":37025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[2993,3491,3535],"class_list":["post-37024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-circa-waves","tag-hannah-nelson","tag-young-chasers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/circa-waves-young-chasers-album-art.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5988"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
