    Ultimately, this is a strong debut from a band with a sound worth exploring more.

    Brightest Darkest Day succeeds by finding the right balance between its two members.

    Mid-album burners aside, Brightest Darkest Day is a strong debut, especially coming from artists with established musical pasts.

    Given enough time, these experienced musicians should be able to pare things down to these more focused moments, finding the right songs to drape with their ultra stylized vision.

    This is a pop record, and a great one at that. Hints of Elastica, Veruca, Republica, even Neko Case (isten to the country-inspired refrain on That Ain't Right) pepper this satisfying debut.

    Though Brightest Darkest Day isn’t a world-changer, you have to admire this pair’s indisputable dynamism.
