You know those comfort albums that you put on when you really need to take some time out? This new LP from Cincinnati indie quartet, The Ophelias, is one of those. Filled with dreamy string moments, rhythmic guitar plucking and soft vocals, the album has an ethereal sound that makes you just wanna kick back and float in the music. Despite being dominated by chilled out, low tempos, the upbeat sing-alongs scattered throughout, such as Sacrificial Lamb, Vices and Becoming a Nun, are most welcome. LT
