Former Aussie rockers Howling Bells bring a fair whack of nostalgia with their indie sound - recalling early 90s acts like Curve, Lush and My Bloody Valentine.
That takes nothing away from their latest album Heartstrings, 10 tracks of alt-pop goodness.
Opener Paris could easily have been a 90s-era hit
- catchy, fluffy pop with a dark undercurrent - while Possessed goes down more of punk rock route.
Standout track Tornado takes a similar country and western approach to this year's First Aid Kit album Stay Gold - and the beautiful vocal harmonies echo the Swedish duo's songs as well.
