    With lyrics that can make you laugh out loud and beats that reach the feet, Barnes has managed a careful balance between sheer absurdity and moments of genius.

    New listeners may not find this a better entry point than any particular album, but casual fans who have enjoyed the last four releases from the band should greet this as a welcome surprise.
  3. Under The Radar

    This may be a directionless paella of genres and styles, but the band is assured and accomplished enough to pull each track off with aplomb.
  4. Drowned In Sound

    While Daughter of Cloud houses a number of Barnes' most flamboyantly weird musical ideas, they're also frequently some of his hollowest.
