WINTERPILLS

Central Chambers

2008-10-31

This third album from the Massachusetts quintet is a balance of heartfelt lyrics and guy/girl harmonies. It features rich and interesting instrumentation such as the singing saw on the hymn-like "Wire". "Beesting" features a pleasing quiet/loud dynamic. "We'll Bring You Down" is appealing in its harder, upbeat tone. "You Don't Love Me Yet" reverberates with an Elliot Smith tone. This should be a welcome listen to those who like the indie-chamber-pop sound. Reviewed by Rebecca Ruth.
