Album 10 - Zoey Van Goey - The Cage Was Unlocked All Along

An indie pop masterpiece, songs full of wonderful melodies and harmonies. The first couple of songs are the best, a run culminating in 'We All Hid In The Basements' which does crescendo like few other songs, rising to a peak before slowly falling away, almost before you noticed.

Lyrically the band are like a slightly more literal Neutral Milk Hotel, and musically there are some similarities as well. But what for me elevates it above 'In An Aeroplane Over The Sea' is the voice of the lead singer who and the harmonies between her and the other vocalist.
