A New View is an introduction that deftly ties together the eighties new romantic movement, nineties alternative, and a more contemporary indie / twee sound. The Birds (for Paulo) is a dissonant effort that blends organic and electric in a fashion that is shambling, brash, and will ultimately coalesce into something unified and effecting.
There is a delicate type of indie rock that is created through Treehouse that provides a solid ending to a triad of tracks. Listeners will have a good sense of who Manett is and what they will do on subsequent albums.
