Chiming guitars and bedroom confessions collide: Shapes Like People push jangle pop into dreampop and shoegaze territory on the flawless, hook-laden Under The Rainbow, while Liberty Belle delivers the most beautifully fragile indie-pop imaginable — pure McLennan-era Go-Betweens gold. Few Border finds lucid jangled riffs with consummate ease on Unknown Gazers, and The Kind Hills craft slacker-pop odes to simplicity that never stray into fluffier realms of contrition. Meanwhile, Zenxith keeps it gloriously DIY — tambourines, chorus-drenched guitars and whispered vocals recorded straight to phone on the addictively lofi For Three Days Use Only.
