"Creatures" by You Can Be A Wesley: Thanks @YouCanBeAWesley!

You Can Be A Wesley conjures up a mélange of clean, crisp Telecaster licks, precision downstrokes, and naked walking bass lines on their new release Heard Like Us. "Creatures" is a quiet xx-esque (QRO live review) bass line-led song that absolutely explodes towards the end. This is the sort of album that rewards re-listening, but if there is one element that will grab you right away, it's the standout vocals of Ms. Untracht-Oakner.  She's concocted a strange alchemy in her delivery, impressive in its range and depth.  There are the pixy strains of Joanna Newsom in "Kiddie Pool", the folk banshee-isms of Margaret Darling (of Seedy Seeds - QRO album review) on "Wildlife", and occasionally she hits an old skool riot grrrl howl à la Kathleen Hanna.
