A classical orchestration of cellos, violins, and trumpets add to the mellow, guitar-driven indie of
Sodastream. Comprised of Karl Smith and Pete Cohen, the Australian duo soothingly creeps their way through six dreary but mature folk-pop anthems that look up to Belle & Sebastian. Nothing uplifting or outgoing, but
Sodastream's acoustic arrangements are pleasantly relaxing. ~ Mike DaRonco
