AndrewTDec 27, 2005Hugely underrated album by a hugely underrated band. It has hints of Nick Drake on here along with their own fine blend of penash to put this type of music in a pleasant limbo. Last clown particularly puts the mind at rest. It will be interesting to see how the band develops in the next album.

NickDJun 16, 2005It's really rather underwhelming. Nothing here with the charming beauty of Optimist or the occasional Dad Rock par excellence of Ether Song. Instead we have a rather slight album which is barely noticable or notable.

DarrenJul 13, 2005An album that grows on you. Standout tracks are Above the Clouds, Red Moon and the title track.

The arrangements are much tighter than ever and cover up whatever lyrical deficiencies the charismatic, freewheeling attitude of the band doesn't.

Sweet, vibrant and sunny songs with just as much invention and passion as 2000's buzz-building early EPs.

There’s not one song on here worth releasing as a single. Only two or three are even remotely listenable.
