Library Voices – Hunting Ghosts and Other Collected Shorts

To me, Regina’s Library Voices are everything that’s right about this whole Indie Pop thing. They’re all jangly guitars and guy/girl harmonies and happy gang vocals. Think The Polyphonic Spree minus the obvious use of drugs.

Unlike some other pop bands in this vein, Library Voices don’t seem to be scared to let things ride, as far as the song composition goes. Nothing seems to be drawn out, or extended beyond it’s means, but at the same time they’re ok with letting things “jam out” where need be.

They’re also good at mixing their influences. I hear a lot of radio in this band. Some surf influence near the end, a lot of great melodies and harmonies have you singing along, or at least humming along, very quickly.

With a healthy dose of great wordplay and a generous smattering of “woah’s”, “Hunting Ghosts etc.” it’s a neat little package of pop songs you can be proud to listen to.
