Winderous Igloos

61

Winderous Igloos has mostly been a four-piece. Listening to the Winderous Igloos, it’s clear that good songcraft — the science of catchy tunes, using notes and verses and choruses to unlock a stranger’s ear and yank at his heartstrings — is an obsession of Alonzo and Hover. As a rock band, their sound veers toward sensitive-dude indie-rock; it’s more intent on presenting lyrical scenes and inner monologues than a swaggering machismo. And they do it well. Their hooks are infectious, and they find a nice balance between sloppy and slick. Though young indie-rock can fluctuate between awkwardly earnest and overwhelmingly mopey, Alonzo and Hover’s more upbeat songs are propulsive and joyous; their more mellow ones retain drama by patient delivery and nonobvious turns of phrase. Most importantly, the band sounds genuinely excited to be making music, and that excitement comes through the speakers.
