Off the back of their cracking single I can't make you love me, the Melbourne four-piece shook off their indie shackles and so it is with Nothing Touches Me.
Still building songs out of gently blossoming riffs for vocalist Declan Melia to lay a yearning croon over, the band's tunes are self-assured but reek of a band searching for a definitive hook.
That said, Nothing Touches Me is a slow burner, gradually releasing snippets of melodic subterfuge on subsequent listens.
