    With the recent break up of Girls, there is certainly an opportunity for Jaill to take the mantle of derivative, vintage pop rock, but they are not quite there yet.

    Definitely a turn-it-up album to add to your summertime playlist.

    On the whole, Traps is definitely worth a listen, but it's clear that the band can do much better.

    While pleasant enough on a superficial level, the band's third full-length, Traps, falls short of the kind of coherent, compelling vision that would lift them up from intermittently-engaging mediocrity.
