B
This Baltimore band manages to conjure an impressive, enveloping sound for a mere two-piece. The lo-fi arrangements on their second full-length, Devotion a faint organ riff here, a distant chime there, a mournful chant floating above it all smartly tease the border between ''pretty'' and ''eerie.'' But the tempos range from leisurely to glacial, and the songs often feel as if they've been left half-written. Despite the gorgeous production, listening to 11 of these ragged dirges in a row requires unconditional Devotion. B
