    The ten songs here are a euphoric whirl of church choirs, lushly layered cymbals, poppy clap tracks, and heady psych rock, evoking peers like Tough Alliance and Tanlines.

    If you give the album the chance it deserves you will be rewarded by one of the strongest LPs you are likely to hear this year.

    Like a postcard, the record gives a lot of space over to painting a beautiful picture but doesn't leave much room for sending the message.

    I have just been listening to this album, and it's truly breathtaking. It's like being on an island somewhere in space, with colors so lush but so electronically icy and ambient. Songs like "Sa Sa Samoa" and "Pago Pago" evoke a type of spiritual music that I have never felt before. It's beautiful and inspiring, all music goers should listen to this album and enjoy the exotic vacation brought forth by Korallreven's talented musicians.… Expand
