  • The performers are Dead Voices, with special guest Betse Ellis; Molly Picture Club, whose spacy experiments with dance rock ought to take the Heads' music into a cosmic dimension; Soft Reeds; and In Back of a Black Car, a four-piece featuring alumni of Lovers in Transit, Monta at Odds and Five Star Crush that describes its music as "nocturnal gloss-pop."

    On any other gloss-pop album, such a portentous opener would be followed with a stimulant. But Camila’s second song, “All These Years,” is just made up of acoustic strumming and vocal harmonizing in the mold of Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself.” It’s a crisp and unfussy sketch of running into an ex—“Your hair’s grown a little longer / Your arms look a little stronger”—and its placement on the tracklist makes a statement: catchiness without bombast.
