After recent releases by Funeral Cake and The 1981, this Smile Too Much release cements the Dandy Boy Records cassette label as the summer’s most in-form and dynamic label.
At its most precious, this succinctly named EP2 EP sees You Can’t Help Me, Wrong About Everything, and Get Used To It drizzle the beautifully delicate vocals of Maggie Aytac through feathery fuzz-pop and jangled guitar licks that just about win the fight for recognition amid the translucent ‘noise’ of it all.
However, as stunning as the above sound is, this release truly excels when the energy is accentuated and charged with slightly more aggression. Here the superlative standout of Memorial Park clangs into buzzing, wall of guitars The Wedding Present territory as it adds a little reposte of snip, spit, and snarl into proceedings.
Another superb EP to rival the brilliance of the debut eponymous EP.
