Listening to New Orleans indie-pop duo The Generationals’ sophomore album “Actor-Caster” is something like flipping through an old photo album, peering into a lost time. The album borrows from a variety of influences, like looking back at photos from over the decades and lamenting over the different styles of dress and hair, but without the “what were they thinking?” feel. This is pure nostalgia, almost to the point where it feels wrong listening to it from an iPod. It’s a sort of dusty, beat-heavy pop that makes the most sense coming from turntables. This, however, isn’t a record for the shelf; it’s got just enough synth and charm to remain relevant to the times.
