More often than not, Ravishers’ creative tandem of Dominic Castillo and Jonathan Barker favor craft over chaos on the Portland, Ore., indie-pop outfit’s self-titled debut (out May 10 via the Timber Carnival label). And if the devil truly is in the details, then the Ravishers’ version of hell is a pretty cool place, filled with insidiously tuneful left turns, clever piano/guitar interplay and hooks that seduce without selling the subtly complex arrangements short. “Keep You Around” and “Nobody Falls In Love Anymore” demonstrate chief songwriter Castillo’s glowing Macca admiration, not to mention his wry spin on affairs of the heart. Download both songs below.
