    "Long Enough to Leave" sounds like an album straight out of the Sarah Records catalog. The Mantles' sound is similar to the common sound of early twee pop jangle pop acts from the late 80's laced upon a gritty indie-pop foundation.

    Equal parts Nuggets era-psych as it is The Cure and The Smiths, it is certainly an interesting avenue of songwriting they’ve chosen to explore. As with most exploration, however, there are missteps and wrong directions.
