There's a maturity in the power-pop-cum-emo music on the 2008 debut of Orlando's Between the Trees, belying the then teenage status of its four members. Swirling keyboards (straight out of the Cars playbook) duel with metallic guitars forming an insistent backdrop for Ryan Kirkland's driving vocals, ones which pepper Chris Carraba's earnestness with a touch of Jeremy Enigk's theatrics. They even tone it down a notch to channel Ben Folds on the mellow, melodic "A Time For Yohe."
