    [An] expansive and impressive sixth album.

    An even stronger effort, one that avoids the sometimes-frantic pace that marred that earlier album a little.

    Stars and Satellites is that unified masterpiece. Like the soft, warm flicker of flames in a fireplace, this album will take you in.

    By sticking mostly to introspective songwriting, the quintet ignores the strongest tool in its arsenal. It's no surprise that the most memorable tunes are the few where they let their fingers fly.
