The Bordellos – its lo/fi folk off volume 2 [2014; self-released]

image

Nine quick tracks of off-beat alt/folk/pop/garage/rock ramblings, with easy-going attitude and playing styles.  The sparse instrumentation and reedy singing keep things light, despite some of the songs clearly being intended as downers, and the short run-time keeps the fairly narrow style spectrum from getting too tiresome.  As a bit of a novelty record, it’s not bad, but it seems a little too much like a collection of spare recordings that didn’t make the cut for other releases.
