After recently receiving a copy of The Changes soon-to-be-released debut full-length Today Is Tonight, I’m even more pissed that I missed the band a few time already this summer.

The Changes are one of a few current buzz bands here in Chicago, and they seem poised for indie stardom. Their particular brand of indie pop is full of complex head-nodding rhythms and breezy melodies. Almost the way I’d imagine a collaboration between The Smiths and The Sea And Cake to sound. You know, hummable pop songs fleshed out with loungey jazz-touched post-rock. More interesting than just a simple rehash of 60’s and 70’s pop and more akin to what bands like Voxtrot are doing, The Changes effortlessly blend a myriad of styles into their own distinct sound.

Whatever it is and however you describe their music, it is undeniably good. The album’s opener, “When I Wake,” is the kind of song that (every time you hear it) you wish it had just one more chorus. Pick up a copy of Today Is Tonight on September 26th from Drama Club Records.
