The band's uncanny knack for the hook coupled with a healthy dose of indie rock ethos creates a synth-based indie pop gem of a record.
The vocals are understated, possibly a little too understated. However, the trace twang gives them an intriguing hushed Dave Lowry sound.
"You Have a Heart" adds cacophonous shoegazer drums and guitars to the synth-pop mix to great affect. Strings are worked in to create a lush and full sound on "Speed of Lies".
The result is an elegant and sophisticated, yet fun collection.
If you are a fan of OK Go or Matt & Kim then North Elementary should be right up your alley.
