Smart, melodic, catchy songs that not only have strong, wonderful structures, but are graced with inventive, clever arrangements.
-
One of the most extraordinary indie sets since the Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk At Cubist Castle.
-
What SFA have done here is beautifully sublime, and they've done it without ploy or pretension.
-
Horns, keyboards and acoustic guitars dominate the 10 tracks here, with an overall live sound that steers clear of the studio effects the band embraced with their last release, Guerrilla.
-
At its best, this is strangely charming, chiming pop music with a twist. At other times, the bare-boned production hampers the inventiveness, rendering a track such as Y Teimlad (The Feeling) a workmanlike Velvet Underground retread rather than the thing of symphonic beauty it briefly threatens to be.
-
Mwng fits right in with their unique vision, and shows that the band can happily and productively work outside of the traditional bounds of the music industry.
-
Minimizing their usual production trickery in favor of live-in-the-studio ensemble thrust, these merry pranksters swim in classic-psychedelia grooves while offering oodles of art-rock allusion.
