Lacrosse - Bandages for The Heart (2009)

You wouldn’t need to pay attention to the lyrics on Lacrosse’s sophomore album to understand that every track is about love. Not just any love, mind you— a big, big love; the sort of gigantic feeling that threatens to distract you from everything else in your life. The music is enormous and often overwhelming, with every hook and gesture blown out to absurd extremes of joy, desire, and anxiety, emulating the heightened emotional reality of romantic comedies and teen soaps. Every moment of the album sounds incredibly exaggerated, but at their best, Lacrosse replicate the intense drama of ordinary love with uncanny accuracy.
