Teo Tala describes himself online as a “SoCal indie artist and grandpa sweater enthusiast.” While the first half of that statement is a simple fact, the second half oddly makes sense too. There’s something very hip and sweet about Tala’s gentle indie pop, though it’s not without its edge when you dig deep enough into his incisive lyrics. “She Loves Me So” is a mildly anthemic ballad—the sort of thing you can imagine a crowd swaying to, phone lights switched on and held aloft—and singing full-voice. “I’m Doing Fine!” is another catchy ditty, with the artist in a defiant mood. Great stuff!
