Confidants

A fascinating second record from lo-fi pop tribe Land Lovers, Confidants sees the Popical Island signees veer from the blueprint of their debut, mixing swooning, vintage-sounding lullabies with their usual fare of sharp-shooting quirk pop. Lyrically, anything goes, from death (‘Terry & Julie’) to football (‘Gravedigger’), as vocalist Pádraig Cooney swings with all the cool of an aging crooner.
