Plus, parking the hives smack in the middle of this land of almonds "is comparable to us going to McDonald's every day for a month," says Johnson.

...composition and arrangement of the instrumental parts. “The Law of the Playground” is catchy and exuberant throughout. With an ear for interesting chord changes that calls to mind the Fiery Furnaces, The Boy Least Likely To has mastered indie pop’s delicate blend of accessible melodies and nontraditional harmonic structure. Riffs like the fiddle and banjo unison part on “When Life Gives Me Lemons I Make Lemonade” beg to get stuck in your head and stay there. The melodies are well supported by the lush instrumental arrangements, which...
