Like an eccentric cousin to Granddaddy, Sparklehorse, Mercury Rev, Tindersticks and any number of bands of that ilk, but not… maybe better? An album with so much care and attention applied. Thought through and fussed over every moment. Lyrics are precise yet abstract, music is dense and intricate yet flourishing. The genius charm bleeds out over time. Not an immediate album, but one to sit with and saviour. Like a novel. Each song a chapter through melodic refrain. This one’s a keeper.
