Their MySpace lists them as "pop/pop/pop." I'm into that. "On Our Way Home" is another pop jewel worth listening to as well.

Why is it that supercool stuff is seemingly coming out of Nevada City in droves as of recently? (If you know me, you'll know why NC is super ironic.) I like the mini two-step vibe going on, as well as other cello-inspired tracks. Every time I type "cello" though, it makes me want Jello. Random.

Did you know this new genre of music is called dancepop? Check your local Amoeba, it's legit. Anyway, this song is boss. That's all.

The chorus really drives this indiepop bower pallad (I meant to say power ballad, but I'm keeping the typo); her voice is so gorgeous and haunting at the same time.

I love names of stuff with the word "hot" in them (see: Hot Chip, Nelly's "Hot In Herre," the movie 'Wet Hot American Summer'). This SF band has a cool electrorock vibe to them, and we all know how I love me so local music...

Every time I hear this song, it makes my cynical ass want to fall in love. Or jump around while wearing a circle skirt. Or drink. All of those things are good.
