Adopting a more straightforward power-pop style than the emo of Everyone Everywhere, with whom he played bass, <b>Hurry<\/b>&rsquo;s first releases had a nostalgic, reverb-drenched 90s indie feel.<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Now comprised of a fixed line-up completed by cousins Joe and Rob DeCarolis, the band&rsquo;s fourth full-length sees Scottoline move away from walls of sound and towards simple, breezy pop. The rich chorus effect of the titular track&rsquo;s guitar is heard throughout <i>&lsquo;Every Little Thought&rsquo;<\/i>, and while it may evoke a degree of innocence, its overuse feels cheap and tiresome.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>A preoccupation with the most basic of melodic ideas has mixed results: on the one hand, <i>&#8216;On The Streets&rsquo;<\/i>&rsquo; up-tempo energy delights; on the other, the riffs of <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Read Between The Lines&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p> are begging to be expanded upon. Simplicity can of course be a triumph, and it is evident throughout, from lyrics to the sparse album art. But often here, the least flattering sense of &#8216;simple&rsquo; comes to mind.<\/p>\n<p>Scottoline&rsquo;s delivery is nonetheless sweet. A smile and genuine affection for the songs is audible in his voice. His writing is not earth-shattering and certainly doesn&rsquo;t shy away from a clich\u00e9, but remains able to make millennials look awkwardly inward. For example, on <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Waiting For You&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>; <i>&ldquo;Always looking at your phone \/ spending all your time alone.&rdquo;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Few will be in a hurry to return to <i>&#8216;Every Little Thought&rsquo;<\/i>, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean its best moments wouldn&rsquo;t be at home on a sunny spring afternoon, or amiss among a guitar pop playlist. Plenty of criticism could be levelled at <b>Hurry<\/b><\/p>\n<p> in terms of lacking inventiveness or flair, but none could fault this on accessibility or modest, easy immediacy.<\/p>\n<p>2.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Every Little Thought&rsquo;<\/i> by <b>Hurry<\/b> is out now on <b>Lame-O Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hurry<\/b> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Hurrymusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hurryband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/hurry.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Peter Stewart (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeteStew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@PeteStew_<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia three-piece Hurry were borne out of Matthew Scottoline&rsquo;s creative urges six years ago, when his main band began to slow to a halt.
