A real "grower"

""At the Ballroom" sounds good from first listen, but not too remarkable. Like all great albums though, it grows on you. And, oh boy, does this record really grow on you. Not too much filler with tons of great hooks. Each song reveals itself to have some great merit until they all become a favorite for whatever reason. The easiest band to compare them to would be Stars. There are 2 singers (male and female) and all of the songs are mixes of analogue and digital leaning towards rock. It's definitely worth a listen, but the payoff will really come with the familiarity of repeated listens."
