Pretty Pretty Star, imo:
1) least offensive drum loop on the album; it actually breathes/swings a bit
2) deceptively simple vocal melody packed with overlapping sing-song hooks that resolve in unexpected ways
3) deliciously unsettling wash of shoegaze guitar provides intriguing juxtapo w/aforementioned sing-song phrases in the vocal
4) affecting/relatable lyrics
5) best guitar solo on the album
Again, i ask the haters: please explain!
