DavidR.Oct 30, 2007An incredible album. Doesn't sacrifice any of the dark charm that previous releases had in abundance. However, Gravenhurst take the plunge and broaden their sonic spectrum in order to avoid even a hint of drag. Every song has something to love but for me, the highlights are 'Hourglass', 'Trust' and the title track.

WillCOct 29, 2007Absolutely stunning album. I'd describe them as a mix between Radiohead and Mogwai. The finest band to come from Bristol since Massive Attack and Portishead. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

AlexisM.Oct 26, 2007Extremely beautiful and cohesive album. Has to be one of the best this year. I agree with the New York Magazine review: 'Notice it now or wait until people start hailing it as a lost classic in a decade's time.' It's that good.

This is the kind of album you can live with and hear new things in with each listen, and proves that the album is an art form that still has plenty of life in it.

Talbot’s vocals mix with the music about them to become another instrument proper; messages are lost in the murk, but the fug’s an appealing blur nonetheless.

MojoThe Western lands proffers a winning cocktail of shimmering guitar harmonics, grand sweeping choruses, drums that avoid funk like the plague and solemn, psychogeographi lyrics from the Ian Curtis school. [Oct 2007, p.94]
