Apr 22, 2011There's a great, brisk evening stroll quality here, drifting imperceptibly between wistful and paranoid.
-
Apr 5, 2011Common Era is remarkable for a variety of reasons that transcend textual directness. It defies expectations in ways most musicians don't even conceive, let alone attempt.
-
Apr 5, 2011The presence of familiar things makes their music go down easier this time around, but it remains a challenge, even after many listens, to feel like you understand what you're supposed to feel.
-
Apr 5, 2011Here Belong have depersonalised an already stark landscape, making a record that's easy to admire but hard to love.
-

Apr 5, 2011No matter how good these songs are (and many of them are quite good), the finished product is underwhelming, and I can only hope that I don't have to wait another half-decade to hear where they go next.
