    This is great stuff guys. I'm new to this band, and just happened to see the rating on this site so I checked it out on iTunes, which actually released it on Friday. It's a dreamy, ethereal piece, without overdoing the snooze factor. Really well done and fully realized. Get the deluxe version: the bonus tracks are superb.

    While there are sprightly, smooth-cheeked moments--the bumptious riff of Blue Velvet, for example--there's a draining lack of invention or novelty. [Sep 2014, p.106]

    With Boyhood [the Richard Linklater film], you grow invested in the characters as they evolve over 12 years; you can enjoy the flow of Lacuna just as much, but in the 11 songs here, you just wish there was some character to begin with.

    It can feel a little slack-jawed, its dreaminess concealing slight lack of substance. [Sep 2014, p.71]
