It's not a grand departure, just the best album yet by one of the modern-rock era's most loveable bands.
-
Four years in the making, Can Cladders could have come off the presses as an indulgent, overwrought opus. Instead, it simply (but oh-so-craftily) distilled a career's worth of creative tangents into one solid, focused effort that, if you're observant enough, holds its own amongst the likes of the Llamas' comparative "elite."

UncutThese articulate odes to pop's past strike the right balance between carefully studied craft and melodic inspiration. [Mar 2007, p.83]
-
An unapologetically lovely affair that is sure to soothe the frazzled nerves of its discerning listening public.
-
MojoIt's not perfect--you want it to shift up a gear occasionally, or to try different approaches, but the songs are all stuffed with daffy musicality and charm. [Apr 2007, p.102]
-
The most enjoyable High Llamas record in over a decade.
-
As always, Can Cladders is immaculately-produced, with an airy feel that emphasizes the breezy songs.
-
Paste MagazineIt's more than a little precious and fluffy for those without kaleidoscope eyes for the stuff, but if this is your bag, you'll know it (and love it). [Apr 2007, p.60]
-
Q MagazineThis is laregly classic pastoral English whimsy at its best. [Apr 2007, p.119]
