With bright melodies, perky guitars and soaring vocals, blankstate. runs counter to emo stereotypes on the jaunty “Say It Back” and the cantering “Separation Anxiety of the Celestial Sort.” Charging tempos, ringing guitars and Sophie Biancofiore’s appealing vocals propel Moving Boxes’ hardcore-infused punk-pop. Leaving For Arizona utilizes plaintive mid-tempo 1990s alt-rock as a launching pad.
