Violent Hearts

Shimmering Stars, “Violent Hearts” (Almost Musique, 2011)
More of that early-’60s-pop-melodism-plus-fuzzed-out-wall-of-guitar sound that’s going around, but the press kit sez these guys actually listen to the pre-Beatles oldies, and this has an ingenuous yearning that rings true, and (crucially) they can write songs. The slow ones in particular crest into a real nice roaring, bells-ringing rush.
