Elefant frontman Diego Garcia must have memorized nearly every song by The Cure while he was growing up because his band's debut album, "Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid," is a shameless, abstract pop mix, a solid indie-pop record heavy in new-wave aesthetic. Tripping two-tone percussion swirls around glossy synth beats and Garcia's Morrissey-like dark vocal softness fits his passionate, undying lyrical wishes for that perfect love. Elefant have carefully crafted an album that's not derivative of their garage-rock counterparts. Such a task is a difficult one, but "Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid" brilliantly pulls it off without being overly stylish.
