Aberdeen four-piece Copy Haho seems to have revitalized a sound I thought was left in the crumb trails of indie essentials years ago. It took me a few listens to to figure out what their recently released self-titled LP reminded me of. (It was Hot Hot Heat.) These lads have churned out a sunny album of optimistic indie-pop jams that just might eek its way onto the essential list itself. Granted, it is nothing break through but it is simple and honest and consistent. Who could ask for more?
