Memoryhouse - The Kids Were Wrong

From the press release; "Memoryhouse is set to release their debut record The Slideshow Effect on February 28th, 2012 on Sub Pop Records! The 10-track album finds Memoryhouse heading toward a new clarity in composition as well as sound, a more organic direction for artists who are, in their own words, transitioning from a "bedroom recording project" into a fully realized band. Even their range of influences has expanded to include such acts as Emmylou Harris, Dusty Springfield and Fleetwood Mac, stepping away from Memoryhouse's past reverbed sound in favor of a more upfront, and intimate vocal affectation. We are ecstatic to share with you the first offering from the band's new record, entitled 'The Kids Were Wrong'. "

This all sounds ominous to me. What's wrong with bedroom music?
Is this a retreat? A reflection of a sincere desire to make a living on music,
perhaps at the expense of art? Fleetwood Mac, yes, but Dusty Springfield??
You can't go forward looking over your shoulder.

@hkchrism That's true, if they become too commercial and popular, you can no longer be a pitchfork hipster saying "you've never heard of memoryhouse? of course you haven't." You'll have to settle for the far less cool "i used to listen to them before I sold out."

@hkchrism true.. wish this was more like songs like lately and stuff. :/

Gotta be honest for my taste this sounds a lot less personal and more commercial than their earlier stuff.
