Seems fledgling label The A&R Department like their music soft and intricately detailed, a kind of folk rock-infused needlepoint. I think their taste is a bit weird, to be honest. The Belle And The Bone People single, for example, is layered but almost offensively smooth, verging on adult contemporary. It is indie pop with a jazzy, theatrical edge, but the lyrics seem flamboyantly and awkwardly rebellious: “Why did you have to fuck me over? I didn’t mean to fuck you over.” It’s a bit embarrassing to hear that nice lady singer swear.
