On first listen, Averkiou's 2008 single, "Holland and Headaches," is nostalgic bliss at its best. It hints at ferry rides home from secluded cabins and disappointingly gentle autumn storms that come after scorchingly hot summers. On second listen, the nostalgia level only shoots up: Averkiou seems to have robbed the 1980s in the best way possible, as the Wipers turn up in fuzzy, minimalistic guitar work and the Smiths are present in spider-web thin vocals. Ripping off earlier innovators? Sure, but when it ends up sounding like this, who cares?
