Nov 19, 2018Generally, there’s a rather cosy feel to Elastic Days--you can imagine the gorgeous stroll of the title track keeping you company through the long winter months, and although some may bemoan the lack of variety on display through the album, it’s hard to deny that it makes for a very pleasant 41 minutes.
