Review

Turning to British Invasion-style power pop in the vein of the Byrds and the Kinks, the Lilys continue the reinvention that began with Better Can't Make Your Life Better (1996), blasting out blunt guitar riffs with a tuneful, Beach Boys-y melodic sense. Still, the band haven't forgotten their feedback-laden roots--"Touch the Water" has a distinctly familiar trace of My Bloody Valentine around the edges. But it's delivered with such jagged, lo-fi joy, you barely catch the guitar pedal chaos roiling in the background. Likewise, "Won't Make You (Sleepy)" glides along on a spacey little harmony that could easily be on a Ride album, but it floats atop scrappy drum fills and a fat, bass-heavy melody. It's a raucous, messy vibe that would sound perfect on scratchy vinyl, and in this band's hands, provokes a buoyantly alive brand of rock & roll. --Matthew Cooke
