“If you’d looked over Bass Lions’ bios before listening to their music, you wouldn’t be at fault for expecting some bone-shaking beats to come vibrating out of your speakers. But the band’s proclamations of their love for bass end up being misleading, though amusing. Instead the quartet’s third release—a self-titled mix of new material and a B-side of 2007’s More Than Islands—combines some choice elements of ambient, emotive indie rock, prodding an energetic side they didn’t fully reveal on their debut EP.”
