Given more than a decade has passed since last studio effort Just Like the Fambly Cat, it’s good to know Jason Lytle and company have expanded their approach to encompass pulsing synths (Evermore) and strings (This Is the Part, The Boat Is In), yet retain the consistent ability to conjure earworms amid the psychedelia (Oh She Deleter).
Produced by Lytle, Last Place signals a return to form.
