    Glistening psychedelic pop. If Animal Collective's van scraped paint with The Shins' Prius.... Feels like maybe a swirly straw in my cocktail. A very creative effort!

    It could be said that Forever might benefit from fewer layers of production, but its maze of sounds is part of its charm and what keeps it interesting.

    There seems to be an innate knack for melody on display here that produces several moments of pop joy.

    Painted Palms’ strength is in their balmy, unhurried melodies. But even such melodic virtues are no match for the sexless nothingness that permeates this record.
