Cassie Ramone: Sweetheart

Vivian Girls’ Cassie Ramone returns with an album of hazy late-night garage pop that’s just as good as the more hyped albums she was making a decade ago. There’s lo-fi synth pop like Beach House but better (“Joy to the World”), noisy bummed-out rock (“He’s Still On My Mind”, “They Hide Their Eyes”), hopeful songs with a heavy ’50s pop influence (“Together”, “Sweetheart”), and slight silliness (“Dilly Dally”) following heartbreak (“The Only Way I Know How”, which features Mac DeMarco). A super low-key release, but it’s not lacking in quality.
