Landmarks is a Chi-town five piece who’s latest self titled EP is as warm and colorful as a beach comber’s board shorts. Subdued vocals, jangled guitar riffs and cyclical drums all lend to the Landmarks EP’s shoegaze sub-frame. However it’s the noodling Stratocaster melodies found on tracks such as “Jackson Park” and “Pacific” that fully capture that beach-bum lazy sense of nostalgia that all of you Real Estate fans out there know and love.
Properly absorbed, this EP has the power to bring out the care-free urban slacker in us all.
