    Although I believe that Cold & Bouncy is their masterpiece, this one gives me enough good and sweet feelings to play it every dreary Sunday. Sean's music is still the best "feel good music" since Brian Wilson stopped doing his thing.

    God bless, Sean O'Hagan for giving this occasionally jaded listener some sweet melodious relief. "Can Cladders" may not top The High Llamas' masterpiece "Hawaii", but this new album is supremely delicious and wonderful. My favorite tracks are: "The Old Spring Town", "Can Cladders" and "Cove Cutters(Hills and Fields". These tunes are simply amazing, and the rest of this fantastic God bless, Sean O'Hagan for giving this occasionally jaded listener some sweet melodious relief.

Kudos once again Mr. O'H agan and thank you so much!… Expand

    It's not a grand departure, just the best album yet by one of the modern-rock era's most loveable bands.

    O’Hagan seems to love style far more than substance.

    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."
