It’s hard to say that The Love Language are “back,” because unless you were paying close attention in 2008, you might not have even noticed Raleigh, North Carolina-based Stuart McLamb’s project had ever arrived. “Calm Down” should help even the most oblivious music listeners take notice of the startlingly underappreciated group; the song combines the wild and bombastic psych-drivers of Deerhunter’s Microcastle with The Love Language’s own patented brand of jangly indie rock. There’s a lot more power in “Calm Down” than The Love Language is used to weilding – but there’s no going back now.
