This album slows down from their previous release but still creates the dynamic eruptions that won&#8217;t freak out your mother. The runtime of this album is only 35 minutes which makes it the perfect non-offensive soundtrack to a short family car ride (assumed that your family is not hugely uncool) without resorting to incredibly boring music.<\/p>\n<p>The lyricism is often talking of banal subjects from a man who has not yet quit his day job stating in &#8220;Don&#8217;t Be Right&#8221; that &#8220;At the lab, they have turned off the hot-water heater \/ from the month of June right through until July&#8221; and then switching off to more fantastical subjects in songs such as &#8220;Stargazer&#8221; with its serpent kings. The Nova Scotian foursome draws a considerable amount of inspiration from other slacker-rock bands of the past, Lou Reed &amp; The Velvet Underground in particular, to create an album that is suprisingly pleasant and intriguing despite the lack of anything that you could break a sweat while playing. The minimalist jams are perfect for chilling out and relaxing but this might not make anyone&#8217;s end of year favorites list.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Foals, Devendra Banhart<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (Mixer), 2 (Stargazer)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Mallory McFall on 02\/24\/16 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This follow-up to Nap Eyes&#8217; debut is lazy music for rockers in the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11539,"featured_media":42418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[4223,4371,4372],"class_list":["post-41620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-mallory-mcfall","tag-nap-eyes","tag-thought-rock-fish-scale"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/napeyes-e1456302572117.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41620","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\/11539"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
