Strangely cinematic for a release with so many jangled riffs piercing the ether, Wine Pride and their simply superlative Lost Years EP is a mixture of aural textures that just seem to work on every different level that is unearthed.

With a modus operandi revolving around ‘dynamic beauty’ the battered percussion of Joyride and If I Knew marches around floaty Glom and Wake In June jangle-gaze as the vocals caress every note with a Phoenix or Harlem sense of indie languid. The juxtaposition of these sounds should be too disparate to have any meaningful combination, but in the hands of Wine Pride, everything works.

The intensity drops significantly in SunShower and the title track as crystalline Beach House and Real Estate jangled riffs resonate to fill the gaps that the percussion once dominated as a strange but beguiling dulcet surf pop omits a sultry post-punk radiance.

Wine Pride could well be the latest darlings for those who like their jangle-pop spliced with the more subtle end of the post-punk spectrum.
