I have a deep appreciation for efficiency. That’s why I love digging through all the best-of lists from some of my favorite blogs. It’s a great opportunity for me to find out about some gems that I might’ve missed out on this year and give them a listen. And that’s how I found out about Spanish Prisoners. Some of the very best music blogs out there only had glowing reviews, Pasta Primavera described it as, “…one of “those” albums.  An album that makes you smile, makes you feel inspired, makes you want to create something as complex and epic yet attainable and reachable”. I know exactly what that feeling is, so I cherish these kinds of suggestions. And while I might not be completely enthralled, there are some really good jams on this record- “Rich Blood” and “Know No Violence” to name a few. Know No Violence has elements of The Strokes, and gentle 60s pop sounds of Fruit Bats. There’s also a little Gardens & Villa and White Arrows happening- synthy pop goodness.
