What happens when indie-prog miniaturists decide to go for the long bomb? "Heart It Races," if they're lucky -- the Australian twee-dweeb aesthetes devise a real pop song even trippier than the fake ones they keep snapping into fragments, a spaced-out bit of calypso crossed with dance hall that keeps getting bigger until it finally floats away. With its sexed-up beats, cowbell, nonsense chants and wigged-out Casio-keyboard psychedelia, Places Like This turns its sound-effect juxtapositions into sheepishly functional tunes.
