    Few bands this side of Wilco float along so easily on little more than diagonally rendered elegiac noises and severe anxiety disorder. [Mar 2006, p.95]

  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    Field Music is a joyful piece of pop art, and a case study in how fragments can make mosaics.
  3. Urb

    Songs are succinct yet maintain an eye for layering oblique, eccentric detail of almost prog proportions. [Jun 2006, p.111]

    I haven't heard a better orch-pop record since Eric Matthews debut in 1995. High praise, well deserved

    Sounds like Elbow on candy and ecstasy. And XTC.

    At first it seems kind of plain...but after half a dozen spins, it hits you in the most sublime way and I love every note of it!
