Forgotten men of glorious indie-pop summers past, rather, The Thrills’ formula for crafting enjoyably middling compositions – a wink to the west coast, a nudge the way of their Irish upbringings – might not qualify as the stuff of rocket science, but why dramatically change the record when it’s clearly not broken? Fashion comes and goes, music bends and creaks and creases and shatters, but quality shines regardless of trends temporary and movements fleeting. And The Thrills are an act of a quality worthy of back-slapping congratulations and broad-smile salutations.
