Tallies
Patina
(Bella Union)
⭑⭑⭑⭑
WITH their 2019 debut warmly received by critics, it seems apt Tallies have been signed by Bella Union: label boss Simon Raymonde was a member of Scottish outfit Cocteau Twins, a key influence on the Canadian trio.
On their second album they once again crank the reverb up to the max, creating an intoxicating set of dreamy indie pop, with lead singer Sarah Cogan’s youthful, melancholic vocals the icing on the cake.
