The Ladybug Transistor : Clutching Stems

The title-track from The Ladybug Transistor’s new album has a sunny rhythm and a faded romantic tone, similar to Jens Lekman’s music, but a little sweeter and maybe a little less distinctive. The kicking pace and earnest vocals also remind me of Belle And Sebastian, or pretty much anything from that pale pool of fey indie pop that is now almost retro. Sweet.
