    From start to finish this is an unexpected adventure through the crossover, leaving the door of the VIP bunker open for us all to sneak in.

    To be sure, In Ghost Colours is a triumph of craftsmanship rather than vision--a synthesis and refinement of existing sounds rather than anything dramatically new and original--but it is an unalloyed triumph nonetheless, and one of the finest albums of its kind.

    At 15 tracks, it outstays its welcome, but in small does this is deliciously addictive. [June 2008, p.86]

    Okay, I've only been listening to this band since the beginning of 2008; however, even though at first I would only occasionally listen, they have slowly crept up the rungs of my addiction ladder. One question that is totally perturbing me with all the reviews: Why don't I read more about comparisons with New Order? This band has taken a similar aesthetic and rocketed it to a whole new level. To be sure, I am a fan of every genre of music and even do my own acoustic/countrified versions of New Order songs when playing solo gigs. This band is definitely on my list of recommended listens for perspective on the sounds of this decade.… Expand

    Brilliant, gorgeous, original and absolutely catchy as hell! All these things probably make this the best of 2008.

    This album has a few real standout songs, but the rest is really nothing special.
