    The Forget tracks "I Became A Prostitute," "Seven Years Of Letters," and "The Neighbours Can't Breathe" show a band capable of muscling up without losing a fascination with fragile, fleeting moments.

    A darker set altogether, through more direct than its predecessor, Forget The Night Ahead manages to marry both crushing noise and sparse elegance. [Nov 2009, p.100]

    I remember listening to the new songs and really enjoying them, but wishing the sound wasn't so thick and muddy sounding. It's a production problem that plagues this album all over.

    I've been listening to this album for a few weeks now and I must say I like it just as much as their first album. I love this bands sound. The album really sucks me in. I've been writing papers for classes I'm in to this album and it really does surround you in a good way. Can't wait to hear more from this band. Scotland is delivering some very interesting bands as of late.… Expand
