Frozen Lazuras Do you dig super-catchy earworms? How do you feel about perfect little pop nuggets with a hint of fuzz? Do you like C86 bands? How about Sarah Records or the Magnetic Fields?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you really will enjoy Face The Strange by Outdoor Velour. Favorite track: Sugar Love.

about

Outdoor Velour Lafayette, Indiana

Outdoor Velour nods to great pop music of decades past: you can taste it like a complex wine, noting here a 60s Motown groove, there a heavy dose of 80s Jesus and Mary Chain distortion, a hint of early-90s shoegaze. But the “finish,” to continue the wine analogy, is that JAMC drone, a buzz that hangs on long after the last track ends.
