This group of Montclair, New Jersey kids (all of whom were teens when they released their placid debut full-length “Tough Love” at the tail end of last year) have a knack for nailing the misty-eyed mysticism of Built to Spill’s early LPs. No wonder Lorde shouted them out even before they released that debut.
Why They’re Not Higher: They’re in school and even a year ago they were hinting at the end of their band, so they could just as easily break up as release another heartbreaking record.
