Since their formation in 2009, Tic Tic Boom! has changed sound palettes and, most recently, members in their lineup (their newest member is drummer Joey Ponchetti). However, Leilani Francisco and Mike DeLay are certainly hitting their stride with the latest sonic shift to electro-pop. In fact, they’re preparing for the release of their new “It’s the Heart That’s a Fool” EP, which boasts swirling synth tunes such as “How It Ends.” The single has Francisco’s vocals twisting and melodies that are almost lilting enough for a ballad, but it’s rare for a band named something like Tic Tic Boom! to not come back in with a strong beat. File next to the Colourist and the Naked and Famous.
