2005's Language Lessons EP is more sweet indie pop from indie pop icon Amelia Fletcher and her Tender Trap cohorts. It is their first release in almost four years, and not much has changed musically. The first three tracks are typically light and breezy guitar-bass-drums pop with Fletcher's still perfect, cute but real vocals over the top with "Talking Backwards" the clear standout. The fourth song, "¿Como Tellamas?," successfully brings in some cheesy synths, a new wave beat, and Lupe Nunez-Fernandez (of labelmates Pipas) on vocals. Amelia Fletcher has never made a record anything less than wonderful and this is no exception. ~ Tim Sendra|
