    Hmmmm....... a very large hmmmmm for this one I'm afraid. If YOU have the innocence to get through it then fair play..... but if on the other hand you are a bit sensitive to quirkyness that seems to be trying too hard or if you plainly dislike music that doesn't deliver on the first 3-4 listens then I call this one twee little stinker.
