$14.98 (list price), Pop, Merge Basic Story: Veteran indie-pop group The Ladybug Transistor’s sixth full-length manages to sound both melancholy and uplifting at the same time.
Sample: “So, when I lost you/ all the people would say/ that’s okay/ you know that the sun will shine another day on you/ but how could they know/ what you meant to me.”
Verdict: While listening to Can’t Wait Another Day, it’s difficult to disassociate lyrics like the ones above with the untimely death of the bands drummer, San Fadyl. However, Fadyl passed after the album was recorded, making such comparisons an eerie coincidence. The music itself is relatively brighter, due in part to some colorful saxophone and trumpet arrangements. In addition, the album features guest appearances by Sweden’s beloved crooner Jens Lekman and Alasdair MacLean of The Clientele. Whether it’s pop or gloom, The Ladybug Transistor seem content right in the middle.
