    What's miraculous about Promise Of Love is the way the band instills the music with such incredible warmth. [#59, p.85]

    The changes are so minute and the record so unassuming and melody free that it is really hard to care about the band anymore.

    Promise Of Love would be a good joint, by indie rock standards, if the passive-aggressive everyschmuck ex-girlfriend mixed-tape staples on the latter half didn’t suck so badly.

    This is by far their best album to date. The songs are just perfect. Andrew Kenney's vocals are angel-like and the rhythm is tighter than ever. I highly recommend this.… Expand
