Souvenir Driver, Ice Queens, Sinless

Souvenir Driver’s latest isn’t exactly a release; it’s more of a preview. The still-untitled record is sweet mix of slow guitar jams with straightforward but soothing vocals, and a sound that lies somewhere between the Cure and Beach House. It’ll be released as a limited-edition Tarot Card set and performed live in its entirety at Holocene before the band shops it to labels for larger distribution. It’s a gamble for Souvenir Driver, who haven’t quite broken into the national circuit yet. But for those in the know, this nameless release is a nice teaser. JENI WREN STOTTRUP
