I don’t think I could ever profess to be an expert when it comes to pop music and its many varieties. I do know that I am, in most cases, a fan. Mammals play good pop music. It hooks you in and takes you along for the ride. I am reminded of my favorite hometown pop legends Bum at times. There’s a definite ’90s indie feel to this (and I do not say that as a slight). I think I love this record. I am off to find more! –Ty Stranglehold (Lamont, mammals.bandcamp.com)
