The Technicolors‘ Heavy Pulp is bursting with detail: you can dip in at any point and it’ll be seconds until you’re greeted with a catchy hook. If the album mimics any hormone, Serotonin is the one, and on the track Brennan Smiley declares: “Nothing really matters until I get the rush”.

Softcore is the most sonically beautiful and upbeat, and is reminiscent of their romantic 2015 track, Tonight You Are Mine; both tracks are some of their best work. On Lucky Slug, Brennan’s voice shimmers behind the music, mystifying his words and making the glittering instrumentation all the more enchanting. Through fuzzy riffs and exciting layering, they’ve created an elaborate burst of life with effervescent tracks like Gold Fang and Alpha Alpha Alpha.
