    One of the freshest, funkiest, tragic and joyous albums in recent times.

    It really shouldn't hang together but somehow does, and effortlessly so, without ever seeming gimmicky.

    If nothing else, Astronomy For Dogs should be heralded as a step in the right direction after six long years of wandering.

    If you can, next time you see your mum, hug her for giving birth to you. Make sure you have heard this record first and you won't be able to stop yourself.
