Exploding Flowers return with their fourth album and arguably their richest collection yet. "Alphabet Window" is packed with shimmering guitars, lush vocal harmonies and beautifully crafted melodies, but this time the Los Angeles quartet opens the sound up even further with piano, organ, synthesizers and vibraphone.

The result is warm, detailed guitar pop with plenty of depth - melodic enough to grab immediately, but layered enough to keep revealing new details with every spin. There are clear echoes of Big Star, Teenage Fanclub and The Chills, alongside the slightly off-kilter charm of The Soft Boys and the polished pop instincts of Fountains Of Wayne.

Pressed on fluor green vinyl, "Alphabet Window" is a wonderfully complete sounding record - bright, melodic and full of small touches that keep it from ever feeling too tidy.
