Waterslide (2018)
I really liked the last Wild Animals record Basements: Music To Fight Hypocrisy. It was a record that caught me by surprise and one I've subsequently spend quite a bit of time with. They had high expectations to live up to when they released their follow up, The Hoax, but they've met those expectations and then some.
I still think the best comparison to make would be to bands like Silver Scooter, though with much fuzzier guitars and significantly better vocal harmonies. The record starts off with an ode to traveling to Japan, "Lost In Translation," which makes me yearn to go back myself. From there, The Hoax is off to the races with song after song of catchy indie rock with just enough pop punk influence to keep things moving along nicely.
I really dig this record a lot. It's every bit as good as their last album and there are moments where it even exceeds it.
