"&lt;p class=\"p1\"&gt;&amp;quot;You said a record is not just a record/Records can hold memories,&amp;quot; Elizabeth Morris sighs on a wistful ballad called &amp;quot;My Sweet Friend.&amp;quot; It&amp;#x2019;s an apt thesis for her U.K. band&amp;apos;s second disc of&amp;#xA0;sparkling indie-pop love songs. Morris&amp;apos; narrators use music to measure their lives: hunting for a bar that has &lt;a href=\"../../../music/artists/toots-the-maytals\"&gt;Toots and the Maytals&lt;/a&gt; on the jukebox, missing a&amp;#xA0;friend who loves the Silver Jews, cheering on a pal&amp;apos;s riot-grrrl band. Allo Darlin&amp;apos;s sound is less scattered than those name-checks might suggest, fitting squarely within a tradition that honors the &lt;a href=\"../../../music/artists/the-smiths\"&gt;Smiths&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=\"../../../music/artists/belle-and-sebastian\"&gt;Belle and Sebastian&lt;/a&gt; above all. What sets them apart are Morris&amp;apos; understated wit &amp;#x2013; &amp;quot;They could name a star after you and you&amp;apos;d still be complaining,&amp;quot; she sings on &amp;quot;Neil Armstrong&amp;quot; &amp;#x2013; and the clear enthusiasm of her bandmates, who hurtle through every jangly chord change like they&amp;apos;re falling into a new romance.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p class=\"p1\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Listen to &amp;apos;Europe&amp;apos;:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;wm:html type=\"inset\" id=\"1\"&gt;&lt;/wm:html&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#x2022; &lt;a href=\"../../../randomnotes\"&gt;Photos: Random Notes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
