    It’s in the way that their personalities balance each other out: country twang alongside eerie folk, electric riff-rock next to delicate acoustic guitar. It’s the sounds of their friendships baked into the songs: natural, comfortable, and communal coexistence. That’s what makes Moneyball greater than the sum of its parts.

    Synthesized with the “freak Americana” of the hopelessly self-aware, Dutch Interior use elements of their pasts and futures to create something wholly strapped into the present.

    Dutch Interior’s new album lives up to the hype that surrounds them in a wonderful blend of country, folk, grunge and so much more. It’s hard to categorise them but there is a thrill in seeing such an ambitious debut that lands its audacious swings.

    After album opener and slow-burn stunner “Canada,” “Sandcastle Molds” breaks the mood; the rollicking drumbeat, nervous blues licks, and dissonant climax feel muddled and a little overdone when compared to some of their more relaxed songs. But the next few tracks get the album back on solid footing.

    Moneyball sounds both auspicious and like the 11th album from an unearthed Stephen Malkmus project at the same time, and it's hard to imagine they won't have more music on the way.
