Portland’s Spy Island recall Apples in Stereo and the New Pornographers, combining exquisite pop arrangements with at times impenetrable lyrics. Occasional head-scratching doesn’t take anything away from the final product, though. Leads Dale Nicholls and Lucy Martin sing together in a perfect non-harmony harmony, and crisp, catchy hooks and ear-catching flourishes abound (there’s some nice organ, piano and slide guitar work here). New Milesian Kings is the band’s third full length, scheduled for release on January 24 — you can find it, along with their (highly recommended) earlier releases, at spyisland.bandcamp.com or spyisland.wantstogiveyou.com
