A female duo, Dusty Trails delivers sweet, serene pop melodies with distant sounds swimming around the textured soil that grows the rich pop that is the band. A bit jazzy, a bit sensuous, and highly elegant, the self-titled full-length is packed full with pop that is versatile enough to make your head turn, if only a little bit, as you wonder what exactly they're all about. I'll give it a B.
