WHAT IT IS: With their sophomore LP, the U.K.-based indie-rock band expands on the slippery, indefinable nature of their self-titled debut, applying all of its giddy art-rock imagination, only this time across a much wider canvas. Throughout the album, they continue to find magic in the unexplored spaces between musical genres, crisscrossing house beats with clarinets, rock hooks with reggae drum lines and more.
