There are a number of overused adjectives that music critics abuse, but sometimes a word to describe a band’s work just comes to your head and won’t leave. For Ski Lodge, that term is "jangly." Their brand of jangly pop is too refined to be called surf, and its main attraction is exactly this refinement. They do not overstay their welcome, making for a concise sound that will (somehow) make you pine for the laziness of an August heat wave. See them tonight play The Deli’s CMJ Indie Stage at Pianos.
