Climbing Out of Love

The Boy Least Likely To

Climbing Out of Love

Release Date:  2014

Reviewed April 1, 2013

UK indie-pop pair the Boy Least Likely To's "Climbing Out of Love" is a delightful bit of compact, sprightly pop, a whirlwind of synth and guitar melodies wrapped around an all-world lyrical hook: "Nothing feels as lonely as climbing out of love." It's the sort of hyper-emotive, relatable sentiment that could easily slot in beside something like "Now you're just somebody that I used to know." It's also surprisingly reminiscent of the brightest cuts on Bright Eyes' 2005 electro-pop curio Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, if Conor Oberst's quivering tenor and cautious cynicism were replaced with seemingly boundless reserves of hope and cheer. Above all else, listening to "Climbing Out of Love" will make you feel good.
