"Beatlesesque," like "Dylanesque," is one of those annoying hipster terms that far too many journalists use--myself included--in describing a particularly polished pop rock act or poetic lyricist. In the case of the Washington D.C. quartet Lilys, however, terms like "Beatleseque," "Beatleslike," or "Beatles-induced" are all but unavoidable. The group's cheery psychedelic instrumentation and highly enunciated vocals immediately smack of the Fab Four. Yet the band manages to avoid coming off as a ripped-off, cheesy tribute, instead proving itself an original and altogether enjoyable indie rock outfit.
