    The band’s songwriting chops are evident on Between Places, and it’s refreshing for a debut to err on the side of being too ambitious, when so many new indie bands nowadays suffer from the opposite problem. But the content of these songs doesn’t quite earn their epic execution.

    Young Dreams need to tap into this Nordic tradition and come up with something a little bit more compelling next time.

    For the most part, though, debut album Between Places cuts and pastes a series of well meaning but unengaging pop vignettes.
