The Afternoon Naps are a six piece based in Cleveland, Ohio. Sunbeamed is their début album and consists of eight slabs of sunny indie pop some of which I doubt will be bettered this year.It's got everything an indie pop fan would want. Handclaps, boy girl vocals, a few la la las' and trumpets which go up against the tuneful melodies that are inspired from 1960's surf and bubblegum pop to 1980's jangle pop Britain.
Some of the tracks are as near to indie pop perfection as you could wish for. Orange Paw and Postcard are meltingly divine whilst the instrumentals in the shape of Argyle Spring and the title track could almost be described as jangle pop chillout. They even sound like Orange Juice remixed by New Order on the summer version of Winter Olympics!
Those in the medical profession have been advising on the benefits of afternoon naps for years. I now can recommend them for the benefits they will bring to your ears. Get this 23 minute prescription now!
