Yeah it's all over the shop but quite a trip. A few BEA users have recommended this album and it's really great. One of the most original and ambitious I've heard (particularly considering they were a band who ultimately had an eye on the mainstream).

[PaperVinnie]

Never heard of these guys before album. Nice album, nothing outstanding but it's a pleasant mixture of shoegaze, britpop, and folk. I think it could totally be ranked higher than this.

always interesting when an indie band raise its game like that.
Impressive album, a bit diminished by the vocals, remaining in the shoegaze background, which is not always fitting this grand pop ambition
