When Fool's Gold released their excellent self-titled debut in 2009, the LA band's African-inflected pop risked lumbering the 15-strong collective with the tag of Vampire Weekend copyists, even though frontman Luke Top often sang in Hebrew. Their immensely satisfying second album finds a core of five players toning down the Hebrew, and turning up the early 80s. "The Dive" in particular suggests the Smiths on a west African beach. Elsewhere, songs such as "Wild Window" channel brittle white funk. Throughout, Fool's Gold lollop along confidently, Top's husky croon offset by Lewis Pesacov's guitar lines, like dewy spider's web.
