    Lush (as an adjective not the noun like myself) and delicious (adj.)

    Absolutely their Best Album Yet.... A brilliant follow up to their last album Pelo .. John and Frank are increadable

    I'm partial to plano, but a definate 9 of 10. Music to come home drunk to and sing until your neighbors come knocking, and who doesn't need that?

    Thematically it's a less ambitious record than Pelo (and in terms of scale, Pedals), but listen to it as the Navins' Exile in Guyville and its truths are heartbreaking in their weary familiarity.

    [The music] is an unholy cross between Steely Dan, Elliott Smith and Air.

    Some may find the Aluminum Group's love-on-ice songs too slick, too lacking in visceral emotion. But like a cool breeze in summer, the Navins make melancholy a delicious treat.
