The sophomore long player from the Aussie electro-pop outfit led by siblings Keith and Michael Jeffery, Inanimate Objects, like Atlas Genius' 2013 debut, offers up a propulsive guitar- and synth-driven collection of Killers and Imagine Dragons-esque stadium anthems that crackle and pop in all of the right places, but ultimately fail to distinguish themselves. Immaculately produced, the 11-track set gets off to a rocky start with the listless "Stone Mill," but the follow-up one-two punch of "Molecules" and "Stockholm," the former of which borrows a measure or two from Arcade Fire's "Sprawl II (Mountain Beyond Mountains)," resets the bar. Both singles glisten with studio polish, but much like English retro-pop confectioners Everything Everything, the band manage to maintain a sense of craftsmanship that belays some of the radio-pandering finery, a tactic they use to their advantage on like-minded earworm-heavy goodies like "Refugees" and the nervy "Friendly Apes." Third single "Friends with Enemies" assumes a darker tone and sports a nice, mildly anthemic chorus, but Inanimate Objects never recovers from the break in pace, largely dissolving into rote, midtempo, melodic pop territory ("Where I Belong," "Ballandino") that aims for earnestness but ultimately induces torpor. The amiable, penultimate number "City We Grow" tries to get the home fires burning again with its driving back beat and easy pop-punk chorus, but by time the folksy "Levitate" ambles in to seal the deal, there's so little gas in the tank that the listener can no longer afford to keep the radio on. ~ James Christopher Monger
