The Smittens – Doomed, Lo-fi and In Love

I seem to go through phases with music, where I’ll latch on to a particular type at any given time. I assume this is something everyone does to a degree for varying reasons, but it does mean that I’m heavily into the twee at the moment. As such, today with have a another dose of indie pop from Vermont’s The Smittens. Male-female call and response vocals are the order of the day here, switching between the overly sweet and the overly jaded. All of which is carried out with a gentle cynicism which doesn’t do anything to the cheery mood.
