    Driving Excitement and the Pleasure of Ownership is a great introduction to a band that deserves to have a close watch kept on its future activities.

    Although by no means a bad record, Driving Excitement And The Pleasure Of Ownership would probably work better whittled down into a pair of EPs rather than a whole album.

    Though resolutely glum, their debut is alluring in its foggy melancholia. [#361, p.111]

    They focus on the mundane without giving much life to it, leaving the songs hypnotic when they’re playing, but hard to remember when they’re not.

    It’s just a shame their debut feels muddied, rather than fuelled, by glimpses of their potential.
