Sounds Like... Date Rape???

Heavenly is one of my favorite bands, like seriously, top five, they make the kind of girl/jangle/twee pop that I love. They're lyrics are also surprisingly bitter. They're lyrics occasionally clash wonderfully with the sonic qualities of songs.
The best, and most grotesque example of this that I can think of i the song "Hearts and Crosses" off of their P.U.N.K Girl EP. Being a concept EP about date rape the cheesy keyboard riffs and jangly guitars amplify the horror of what has happened to the girl in the song, so here, have a listen:
