Eager to showcase their evolving technical skills and musical maturity, Winnipeg’s  The Lytics embrace an even broader sonic palette on sophomore full-length They Told Me. Following up on the success of their eponymous 2009 debut, the group here explores an impressive array of new territories, from the working-class escapism of Can We Run Away, to the mod-rock backbeat and orch-pop stylings of Stay Calm. They Told Me is a modern retake on the golden era sound, receiving reviews comparing The Lytics to the like of Pharcyde, Arrested Development and Digable Planets.
