Album of The Week I



Mint Julep - Save Your Season [2011] //dream pop, indietronica//

Bella sorpresa questo Save Your Season. La formula dream pop+elettronica+voce femminile sulla carta dovrebbe stufare , visto la quantità impressionante di album usciti negli ultimi anni che sguazzano in  questo genere musicale. Invece i Mint Julep sono molto bravi a proporre in poco più di 40 minuti una decina di canzoni molto melodiche e catchy, ma mai banali e/o noiose. In particolar modo spiccano i 6 minuti di No Letting Go , dove si sfiorano territori shoegaze e la conclusiva Why Don't We, con una chitarrina jangly irresistibile che fa capolino verso metà brano.
