    The band sounded just fine before, quite properly psychedelic and dream state-y; on Freaks of Nurture they have made all the right moves to jump themselves out of the pack and up near the front of the line of their fellow time-traveling freaks.

    Freaks of Nurture captures Holy Wave as it takes a step toward greatness.

    It’s unassuming and introverted, an odd mix of murk and clarity which proves to be ever more intriguing with each listen.

    Freaks of Nurture needs a bit more abrasion to leave a mark. Sunny and pleasant all through, it blurs together like vacation days, each enjoyable, but hard to remember afterwards which was which.

    Stripped down, these ten tracks are pleasing pop nuggets, though sometimes stretched out past the five-minute mark.
