Wilkis and Kennedy are clearly eager to show their range, from silly to bleak, up-tempo to slow jam, distortion-heavy to crystal clear. They can do three-chord blues (“The Optimist”). They can play with time signatures (“little gigi”). They can be quasi-political (“America”). The rookie nature of the album is further evinced by its acoustics; lamentably, you can often hear just how small their...
