In Heavy Rotation: Allo Darlin’ – We Come From The Same Place – Slumberland

Allo Darlin – Heartbeat

Given that 2012’s Europe was one of my favorite records of that year (with an all-timer in the end of Summer pensive pop of “Tallulah”) it’s no real surprise that the latest from this London based group fronted by Aussie Elizabeth Morris is also pleasing to my ears. While the style hasn’t changed dramatically from their previous work, it’s clear that the band is broadening their indie-pop sound and adding depth that wasn’t present earlier. It becomes clear immediately when you hear the lead track from the new album, “Heartbeat,” that despite the title, the band is not coming from the same place as before. It’s a richer sound for an already sugary sweet outfit, that retains all of the charm of the earlier recordings and thankfully losing nothing.
