A diverse and feel-good indie pop album with spring-time vibes and plenty of '80s and contemporary influences alike, including The War on Drugs, The Killers, even a little Blackstar by David Bowie too. Despite some cliche'd ideas that pop up from time to time, In The Rainbow Rain succeeds due to the earnestness of the songwriting and enough adventurous musical ideas to justify multiple listens. Not quite as deep and compelling as predecessor Away, but a finely crafted, breezy, very enjoyable record in its own right.
