Night People has always had an ear for interesting sounds coming from Down Under, which is pretty impressive for a label located smack dab in the middle of America's corn bucket. On this latest split they pair Melbourne bands Peak Twins and the oddly named but entrancing Scott and Charlene's Wedding. The former drift along on a dreamy cloud of strums and down tempo melancholy. The band is at their best when they keep things a bit brighter as on the closer "Your Love."
