Occasionally, garage-rock dervish Ty Segall's voice gets a fey, helium-balloon edge to it, like he's a grinning pre-sexual schoolchild that's just learned a dirty limerick; High Pop's Sean Posila adopts this voice and sings in it all the time, a decision that makes even more intuitive sense when you learn that it's core members, Sean Posila and Jordan Caulfield, met and bonded at an all-boys Catholic school. "Loner", a winsome, wobbly indie pop song, has a certain schoolboy-innocent naughtiness, which you can detect both in the sweetly yearning vocal melody and in the small, deliberate mess of criss-crossing fuzz guitars beneath it.
