    The Londoners' ramshackle summer vibes are still happy to coast along on a slacker wave rather than streamlining too directly.

    Nothing Bad Will Ever Happen has flashes of brilliance and moments where they're still figuring out what to do, but overall, it shows them growing into something new as gracefully as they can.

    Throughout all 13 of these tracks, whether fuzzed-out and aggressive or scuffed-up and jaunty, the band is so laid-back and mellow that there's never a break in the mantra: Nothing Bad Can Ever Happen [sic].

    While Nothing Bad has great, well-written, dynamic pop songs, the album suffers from length.

    Dignan Porch are slightly less effective at a less sprightly pace, veering too close to the point of collapse on 'And Are Now Not', but this is a fine exercise in pearly, bleary eyed acid pop.
