Australian indie pop band, The Griswolds, finally released its debut LP. It seems like forever ago that the band's track "Mississippi" was on heavy rotation on college radio stations — really, it was just last summer, so maybe I'm impatient. Just last Monday, The Griswolds released "Be Impressive," 11 tracks of sugary pop rock and danceable synths — the band worked with M83 and Phoenix producer Tony Hoffer, if that gives you any hint. It's a fun, sunny album that builds on the high points of last year's "Heart of a Lion EP." We still have a few days of summer left, right?
The Griswolds play with Nerds in Denial and Scope & Figure on Saturday, August 30, at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. Themontagemusichall.com; Wearethegriswolds.bandcamp.com.
