Dreamy indie pop trio
Little Daylight deliver their debut LP
Hello Memory, a woozy, intimate affair full of bubbling synth pop, chiming guitar, and laid-back charms. Building on the shimmering vibes of its 2013
Tunnel Vision EP, the Brooklyn group recorded and produced the album's ten tracks at home in the bandmembers' shared studio space. For a band that initially formed around remixing tracks by acts like
Passion Pit and
St. Lucia,
Little Daylight's own first major studio outing draws from a similar pool of sounds and influences but yields its own flavor led by the winsome voice of singer Nikki Taylor. Standout cuts like "Mona Lisa" and "Runaround" show a band with a knack for buoyant pop songwriting with strong melodic hooks. ~ Timothy Monger
