Fol Chen – “IOU” (Stereogum Premiere)

"IOU," the second taste from LA indie-poppers Fol Chen's upcoming The False Alarm, furthers them on their journey toward more traditional pop. The avant-elements are still in play, though: skittering vox, sparse verses with subtle noodling guitar, and string-laden conclusion. Odd and lovely, as ever. Check it out below.
