DOWNLOAD: The Pica Beats - Poor Old Ra

When I read about a band being described as "chamber-pop," it always make me a little bit nervous, since either end of the contraction seems like enough for one group to tackle. But on "Poor Old Ra", the Pica Beats have done a bang-up job of working in touches of florid instrumentation while holding the melodic center. It would be easy for a tune this light and bouncy to get bogged down with too many bells, whistles and voices, but it manages to perk along unencumbered. Another choice release from Sub Pop's Hardly Art imprint, brightening the corners of your Monday.
