The Anglo-US indie pair (Alice Costelloe and Kacey Underwood) return with more sweet, slightly narcotised duets, plus a new rhythm section for added grandeur – there are lovely, echoey drums that appear to have been recorded in space. The boy-girl dynamic was made for dream-pop with all its longing, ambivalence and deliberate naivety – every lyric here seems to witness the start of a love affair: "I want to be wherever you are/ Sleeping in your back seat is all I will ever need" (Driving in Your Car). The charm is, Big Deal are playing up to their mystery less than they did before. There's nothing posed or concealed about June Gloom; instead, you have warm, homespun wisdom that could be love or friendship, and who cares? "All we need is life/ What's mine is yours and yours is mine" (Dream Machine); "Love what you have, not what you need" (the achingly pretty Pristine). There are plenty of breaks from the classic chug-chug structure, too, such as Pillow, with its languorous interplay of bass and guitar.
