This confused mixture is not to be muddled with being in any way eclectically progressive, as attempts to flavour the album with a sprinkling of curveballs simply comes across as try-hard. Unfortunately, though, such attempts fall flat from a band who seem to be enduring a painful decline into an inescapable identity crisis Sacred Hearts Club is a hotchpotch of tracks which don’t appear to work together as a collective at all. Industry catapult “Pumped Up Kicks” was a banger enriched in gloriously buoyant indietronica, the band’s 2011 debut LP Torches blasting car stereos with its anthemic brand of West Coast indie-pop, whilst flaunting sufficient sonic quirks to satisfy those who perceived themselves slightly cooler.Īfter the mixed reception of a more psych-tinged, guitar-focused sophomore effort, 2014’s Supermodel, the pressure was on for a third record to either recapture Torches make-you-dance mentality, or to opt for a complete sonic rebrand.
