    While "Clean" can be considered a really good album, "Collection" is just about good. Yes there are some decent songs but it all kind of passes you by without leaving a huge impression. "Death by Chocolate" is a microcosm of the album. Catchy and nice but easily digestible and forgettable.

    Soccer Mommy mirrors the melancholic joy of Death Cab For Cutie with the emotive songwriting of Now, Now, reworking some older demos into mournful indie-pop that are introspective, yet intensely relatable.
