Jason Robert Quever's friends and former teammate Beach House has made a massive splash with their version of modern dream pop and the genre continues to gain steam in the mainstream. While Fading Parade is artfully constructed its power does not last, literally wilting from a lack of punch as the album plays on as perfectly fine background music for a rainy day. This is lush vicodin pop but it’s a little gloomy, a little hollow.
