New Jersey band lightheaded are back with their incredible new power-pop album, Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!, and listed below are 5 things (the low-hanging fruit) I love about this record.

1. It is packed with infectious, marvelous, and charming vocal harmonies.
2. The album sounds current and classic at the same time.
3. They love Amelia Fletcher—who doesn’t?
4. The album is 28 minutes long. There is no fluff. They get in and get out with 10 jangle-pop heaters.
5. The album was mastered by Mikey Young—no brainer!

Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming! is out now via the almighty Slumberland Records and the equally almighty Skep Wax Records. This is one of my favorite albums of the year so far. You need to listen to it right now!

Massachusetts’ Jeanines are back with their latest (and greatest) album, How Long Can It Last. This album is a true pop gem. The songs explore heavy themes, yet they’re delivered with such charming and “heavenly” melodies that they trick the brain. And with all the turmoil that surrounds all of us, whose brain doesn’t need to be tricked?

In a short exchange between myself and Slumberland’s Mike Schulman, he wrote (about the new Jeanines LP), “…things are so crap right now, I need some beauty and light!” That sentence could have just been my review.

How Long Can It Last is out on Friday (06/27) via Slumberland and Skep Wax Records. You can stream the fantastic singles below. This album belongs in any pop music fan’s collection.

We all need some beauty and light! Enjoy.
