    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.
