Souvenir Driver is a mixture of dreampop and britpop and some of the Oregon trace of something the band calls bliss pop. And a lot of punk defiance against the political situation.
It is worth to focus from the beginning with "Winter Birds" combining almost depression infected lyrics with lively dreampop and cheerful guitars. Great to hum. But "Glass Ceiling" is a twist, it makes a protest song with great punk lining. The band don't hide their views - the very first sentence about the album reads "all songs written in the period between Trump's election and his inauguration" and "all proceeds from digital sales of this album will be split evenly between non-profits [organizations]". And there is no beating around the bush in the next song - "now I'll have to listen to the bullshit he's gonna say/everyday, every year, everyday, every year" ("Dumb Nightmare").
