San Diegan quintet Pinback eschew a single style in order to create their refreshingly earnest brand of melodic indie rock. Mixing drum machines and crackling electronics with distinctly British post-punk bass lines, emotionally fraught vocals, and slow-burning textures reminiscent of Yo La Tengo, the band remains constant in its obsessive focus on songcraft and structure. The care the group shows for its sound is immediately apparent, enough so that even if you haven't heard Pinback's music before, you may find yourself humming along.
