Critiques CD: Seapony | Go With Me

Seattle-based Seapony is another band plucked from obscurity thanks to Bandcamp. Four hazy surf-guitar-girl-pop singles released for free on the website became the foundation for Go With Me, an enjoyable yet uncomplicated collection of dreamy songs featuring passive girlish vocals, buzzing and echoing guitars and unemphasized rhythms. The album’s opener, “Dreaming,” designates the sound and mood for the rest of the twelve tracks in both name and aesthetic: between the vintage-sounding guitars and charming yet distant vocals, Go With Me plays out like a lovesick girl’s dream: fluid yet predictable, but enchanting all the same.
