It’s not that their name is overly insufferable (it is), Simone And Girlfunkle just try to feed every indie-folk touchstone foie gras-style into three and a half minutes. It’s a rich tapestry sewn by the group’s seven members, but the slow-fast, loud-quiet dynamics whip in and out at an ADHD-friendly frequency, leaving little thread for the listener to latch onto. The lush coda is a satisfying closer, perhaps due to the absence of the jaunty vocal melodies that come before.
