Addi McDaniel’s Are You Serious is a hauntingly beautiful effort that links together 1960s and 1970s female pop with a tinge of mid-1990s indie music. The charisma that is weaved throughout Are You Serious manifests not only in Addi’s vocals but in the sometimes-psychedelic, sometimes-surf guitars that represent the cornerstone of the composition. The interlude (around the 2:45 mark) is enough of a change-up to keep listeners on the edges of their seats while providing enough of a breather for Are You Serious to pick up pace and end as strongly as it has began.
