  • Summary: Electric where the mellower 'Sung Tongs' was acoustic, 'Feels' is nevertheless another idiosyncratic outing for the freak-folk four-piece.

    Breathlessly giddy and shamelessly trippy. [21 Oct 2005, p.75]

    The great achievement of Feels is that it throws everything at every track yet never loses sight of the tunes themselves.

    'Sung Tongs' brought a smattering of organization to the band's chaos, and now 'Feels' finally sees them emerge, blinking, into the sunlight. [15 Oct 2005, p.35]

    Despite its many wondrous moments, 'Feels' is not a record for everyone.

    All of their albums have their own unique sound, it takes a trained ear to notice these but once you do it's amazing how they can create this sound that is so particular to the album.

    Solid album. For me the standout tracks are Banshee Beat, Loch Raven and Purple Bottle but most would seem to diagree on that!
