More laptop twee! New York state duo ear (stylised in lowercase) is more laptop than twee. Given the choice I side with the latter, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the duo’s music. In particular this Ne Plus Ultra (released as a single, and also available on the band’s recently released second album Rumspringa), that sounds like a quiet, introverted version of the Femcels, with whom it shares its sketchiness. And I happen to love sketchy, introverted pop songs.
