Spectrals' Louis Jones can write one hell of a lilting pop hook, but he doesn't need to slather on the emo frosting to make his confections taste sweet. Spectrals Extended Play, his debut EP on London label Moshi Moshi, will be immediate ear candy for fans of 00's slacker rock like Real Estate and the Twerps, but with one key difference: in their painfully intricate melodic core, songs like "Chip A Tooth (Spoil A Smile)" are really more Motown than anything else.
MP3: Spectrals: "Chip A Tooth (Spoil A Smile)"
Spectrals Extended Play EP is available for digital download via Moshi Moshi. A physical release is slated for January 2011
