Another of Slumberland's excellent new releases - "Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!" is the 2nd LP from Long Branch, New Jersey band lightheaded.
This time around lightheaded seem to be leaning into their love of The Aislers Set (Alicia Vanden Heuvel recorded tracks 3 and 4). Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor) recorded tracks 1 and 2, and Mikey Young mastered this.
I'll let the Bandcamp page take care of the comparisons since whoever wrote it probably listened to the whole album while you and I are currently only privy to track one:
lightheaded "have the sunshine sparkle of The Left Banke and Margo Guryan, the C86 charm of Dolly Mixture and Would-Be-Goods, and the cinematic swell of Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura." And since I've been listening to a lot of Barbara Manning, she deserves a mention as well.
