    Heartbroken, but heavenly.

    Whilst with Sakura they haven’t quite achieved that elusive balance between the raw emotion and intimacy that made Big Deal so enticing in the first place and the intensity and power of a full band, all the signs suggest they will soon.

    The atmospheric jangle of the title track has that Pumpkins-esque fuzziness, too. The other half of this EP is too by-the-numbers to recall.

    Instead of building on what went before, or providing clues as to a future direction, Sakura sounds like a collection of B-sides--and forgettable ones at that.
