 Chicago’s Time Thieves are Jonathan Pool (guitar, vocals), Tim Reynolds (guitar, vocals), Annie Saunders (bass, vocals), Lilly Choi (synth, vocals), and Mike Oberlin (percussion). The band recently released their album “Space.” Full of authenticity and raw power, the work is scattered with space references throughout its entire essence. This detail is evident amongst the lyrics, song titles, and LP artwork. Sonically, it’s an intriguing infusion of indie and pop punk that encourages listeners to delve deeper into the experience and find out more of their offerings.
“Seasons In (Intro)” fades in and builds up as it leads into the first full length track on the LP. Short and sweet, “Flicker of Light” is an effective introduction to Time Thieves as the composition encompasses their power pop sound, while simultaneously showcasing only a small fragment of the group’s capabilities. “Nothing to see, Really nothing to see. / Not a flicker of light. This darkness you see is depending on me for a flicker of light.” As the album progresses, the songs showcase more complexity in their arrangements, approaches, and vocal stylings.Containing all components of skillful infectious power pop: blending vocal harmonies, addicting hooks, smooth guitars and rhythm. The indie compositions feel familiar, yet simultaneously brand new. Time Thieves have initiated a spark with transcending compositions that teleport you to another time and place. “Space” is a sugary sweet pop punk album that is deemed a title worthy of “anthemic summer album.” For fans of: Weezer {old school}, grandaddy, The Rentals, that dog., Ovens, and Ozma.
