Easy Travels, while preceded only by the groups debut LP Brain Holiday in 2013, effectively solidifies and fine tunes their infectious sound. The tone of the album is immediately set by commencing with the accurately named \u201cConstantly Happy,\u201d an upbeat pop anthem almost guaranteed to get stuck in your head. The memorable riffs and chorus of \u201cConstantly Happy\u201d are lost in the overall forgettable, yet well produced, \u201cWait for Nothing\u201d and \u201cRunning All Around.\u201d Though vacant at times, quality composition and production are relatively uniform throughout the LP. Tracks like \u201cThe Times\u201d and \u201cI Know A Guy\u201d bring the breezy, upbeat flow expected from an indie pop album. As a whole, Easy Travels accomplished what it was meant to, though it introduced nothing revolutionary in the process.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Vampire Weekend, Wavves<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: Constantly Happy<br \/>\nDo Not Play: none<br \/>\nWritten by Chloe Carlson on 09\/29\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy Travels, preceded only by the groups debut LP Brain Holiday in 2013, effectively solidifies and fine tunes their infectious sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16418,"featured_media":50314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5574,5575,5572,5573,2245,2839],"class_list":["post-50313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-chloe-carlson","tag-cole-furlow","tag-dead-gaze","tag-easy-travels","tag-indie","tag-pop"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/d7c5b4292386efca13a3516c1e445f9f.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50313","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\/16418"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
