'Sun Shy' ★★½
As a general rule we've been taught not to judge things by their cover, but in the case of Dresses' debut EP, a discerning first glance can prove to be a real timesaver. Portland duo and real-life, love-struck couple, Timothy Heller and Jared Maldonado skip along a sickly-sweet electro pop road together, unaware of the repetitive nature of their vocal hooks and use of the harp. Their single Blew My Mind is not bad on its own, while Friends are Dead seems to be the token slow and moody track that falls short of eliciting any real emotion. Overall, what could have been a light and enjoyable listen is overwhelmed by whimsy.
