Brooklyn band Heliotropes returns with a fresh lineup on its second album, Over There That Way, built on powerful melodies and enhanced with psychedelic flair. Founding member Jessica Numsuwankijkul remains from the lineup that created 2013's A Constant Sea, and her gentle voice alternates between joining the swirl of instruments and taking center stage. The hypnotic, two-part "Dardanelles" is a highlight, along with the fuzzy "War Isn't Over" and the blending of male and female voices on the title track.
