Bright Eyed Kids are composed of adroit players who meld quite well to provide muscular support for singer Jonathan Marques whose voice is strong if not distinctive. The group excels at generating dreamy atmospherics, as in “Girl on Fire” with its cumulus of synth-beds and its calming majesty. Similarly, “Galaxies Away” deploys plenty of synthesizer and interesting sonics and colors. Best of the bunch is the guitar-driven “Better in the Dark” which delivers a nice gust of group vocals and surprising elements (glockenspiel?) that are inspiring. Despite their strengths, though, these Kids must work harder to overcome an absence of sharp, memorable hooks and a tendency to undermix the lead vocals.
