I think hearing something a little out of the ordinary from them would be quite nice, but I must say I’m very comfortable with their sound as it is. Their melodies still rattle around in my head most of the day and it is reassuring to know they can preform consistently. I think releasing Sparks first sort of tripped a lot of people up. Many felt that they were going in a more shoegaze direction with Depression Cherry and I think it left people feeling a little jaded when their album alluded to Bloom and with Thank Your Lucky Stars to their Self Titled album and Devotions a little more too.
Do they need to experiment? I think it could be something spectacular. Even if they stay their course, knowing the reliability that they will remain formulaic and be able to keep up with themselves at their current level, I think would be content with that as well.
