A song to remind us of the long lost but utterly irresistible Adventures in Stereo who were perfectly capable of close harmonies and done with a most off-kilter eye, Portland’s all-girl Pool Boys just have that kind of magic happening. Up and down it undulates making all sorts of arcs and swoops along the way while retaining that rare skill of melody forming at every turn but in a manner that kicks convention to the kerb. ‘I Can’t Imagine This Place Will Last’ feels vital as a result, a innovative engine of indie pop desires at every turn.
