Record Routine: Pleasantness dominates on new electro-pop release
By Mary Sagstetter and Brandon Danial | Mar. 31, 2014The rise of female-led electro-pop bands has been the biggest genre trend to hit music in the past few years.

The album is fun and easy to listen to, but it’s hard to say how well Mr Little Jeans stands out against the rest of the crowd.
