Torch

Torch offers bright, sparse pop in true Teen Beat style; blushingly honest love songs that bob and drift along sunny melodies with almost an updated '70s AM radio feel. Like a beachside answer to Glasgow's Belle & Sebastian, True Love Always writes songs that are intimate and bittersweet while never being sticky or cloying and keeps their instrumentation spare enough to hear the space between the notes. With Mark Robinson as a guiding hand, comparisons to Unrest are inevitable, but certainly not an insult as both bands handcraft their sweet, earnest pop music and deliver it to the listener personally. ~ Zac Johnson (AMG)
