The music of You Are Plural is so immediately, vibrantly engaging that it can be almost jarring. The first song on Hand it Over, the band's debut LP, is a spryly shuddering meeting of strings and bubbling electronic instrumentation that sweeps along the lovely vocals of the female lead. The rest of the album is similarly entrancing - tuneful, Sufjan Stevens-esque chamber pop laid gently over a bed of fluttering keyboards. Even as the album floats along smoothly, a tension begins to arise from the restless twinkling of those keys. Listening to You Are Plural becomes a waiting game, wherein one uneasily anticipates the moment when a song may come crashing off the tracks. It makes for an exciting listen and, I'm betting, an intriguing live performance.
