I wonder if...

A) Maybe I'm misremembering and the music was actually ALWAYS quite contemporary, when in actuality it was their way of dressing that was more retro or...

B) Their pastiches got so accurate over time that Do Hollywood doesn't sound as old-school as it did. When I listened to Look for Your Mind! this year for example, I could easily say, "Oh this reminds me of The Beatles, this reminds me of that one obscure Who song, this feels very Beach Boys coded," whereas with Do Hollywood, I couldn't think of a band they're referencing on, say, "These Words" or "Great Snake". As a whole, though I'd say it sounds like it's in the same lane as Foxygen (understandably) and Tame Impala without sounding like they're emulating these bands.

This is not a complaint by any means. It's just an observation. If anything, I'd say the turn they took was for the better.

rules:

at least one song from every album

less than 30 songs
