The Ladybug Transistor :: Cienfuegos

The Ladybug Transistor released The Albemarle Sound in the spring of 1999, but it sounded pretty much timeless upon arrival. A quarter-century later, the LP’s glow remains undimmed — it’s a jewel-box of lush strings, classic pop melodies and delicious rainy-day melancholy, a Wes Anderson soundtrack in search of a film.
