This is high-quality melodic indie pop... The real standout here is Sunday Ladies, a true pop triumph that veers from Shins-ish indie pop, to the Beatlesque, to music hall and back again all in the space of a few minutes. - Absolute Powerpop - 5\u002F28\u002F08The songs…give the past and the present equal footing: Working primarily with lush ballads and driving pop jangles, Shakermaker is very tuneful but slightly psychedelic, Merseybeat with slurred speech, a combination that offers both immediate attraction and escape.
