    The result is a melancholy brew.

    They do succumb to indulgence--most pointedly on bloated eight-minuter Deep Water--but if you're prepared to allow them, they're just about worth it. [Jul 2011, p.116]

    I Want that You Are Always Happy is an honest sound, one with as much darkness as it has light, and though it slows too much in spots, the record has more than enough compelling moments to bring you back for future spins.

    y may want that you are always happy, but, while there's much for the listener to enjoy here, they will need to be more concise to achieve their obvious potential.

    They don't quite conjure the heart-slowing plod of Pecknold's mob on their second album.
