Atlanta based band Indianapolis Jones can switch between manistream love songs and tender psych dream pop without blinking an eye. Please Come Home, the lead single form their Chaos and Light EP has radio-friendly appeal and will make the playlist of countless suburban soccer moms, but things get deeper (and more interesting) in the jangling Interstellar. They saved the best for last. This Is The Dream could be mistaken for a long lost George Harrison song, with Harry Nilsson giving the thumbs up in the background.
When push comes to shove, Chaos and Light goes for multi-layered music that is complex and pleasing to the ear. If they need a pop ditty to rope in the casual listener, so be it. The general public is more willing to hand over their hard -earned cash than the taste makers who tell them what to like.
