The jangly, effervescent Montreal power-pop band Prism Shores announced their new album Softest Attack last month with the release of lead single “Kid Gloves.” It was great, and the second single is better. “I Didn’t Mean To Change My Mind” triangulates the midpoint between Pavement and Teenage Fanclub as if blurring together the memories of everyone who had opinions about leaving Matador for the majors in 1992. It’s so rich with harmony and texture, and Jack MacKenzie sings with a half-spoken detachment that hits just right. No wheels reinvented here, but dang, this band does it right. Listen below.
Softest Attack is out 4/10 on Meritorio.
