Released last fall, Army Navys self-titled debut is one of the most welcomed breaths of fresh air the power-pop genre has seen in years. With breezy (yet never lightweight) songs such as Slight of Hand and Silvery Sleds, the LA-based band sounds not unlike a less sunnybut no less catchyApples In Stereo.
