    A pleasing album in the style of Coldplay, but not as cheesy or hyperproduced. Nice selection of tracks for an afternoon or a walk, but no specific track stood out for me. Very competent band, but not enough juice to go mainstream I guess.

    Beautifully constructed and atmospheric, Curve of the Earth feels like a soaring triumphant exploration, even in its more pained and introspective moments. There are moments of meandering, and moments of reflection but ultimately its as much a cosmic ride as you can get by looking inward...
    My Best tracks: Bombay Blue, Bubblegum, Blood Red Balloon
Metascore

    All in all, Curve of the Earth comes across a little on the self-indulgent side, and although most bands evolve and move on from past successes, over-complicating things can lead to that band losing their sense of character and identity.

    A sense of growth, impermanence and yearning runs through these songs. [Mar 2016, p.96]

    The album may seem short at only nine tracks, but there are enough ideas crammed into Curve Of The Earth to call it one of the most well rounded records of 2016.
