Due to the eccentric roster that Carpark Records has accumulated over the years, Chicago's Light Pollution stand out amongst their labelmates because they seem completely normal. On their debut LP, , they serve up a good old-fashioned helping of ascendant song structure, washed-out synthesizer textures, and new wave basslines, all swaddled in heavy reverb. And by "good old-fashioned," I mean circa early 2005. In the wake of 's success, this was the kind of thing you probably called "indie rock" with no qualifiers.
