They have done a hell of a lot of growing up. An immense album.
-
This is a beautiful album. Moving rather than maudlin, uplifting rather than depressing.
-
The quiet simplicity of these songs is better suited to Fink’s lone voice, clear without a jumble of voices and complex harmonies, strengthening the continuity of the storytelling.
-
It’s an intriguing record brimming with solid songs that only loses step by keeping to a narrow path.
-
Under The RadarThe First Days Of Spring has a wonderful orchestral bent, with many tracks graced by symphonic backing that brings welcome grandeur without succumbing to cloying melodrama. [Fall 2009, p.59]
-
Despite its shortcomings, The First Days of Spring marks a welcome escape from such labels as "quirky" and "twee", with a musical maturity that requires only an equivalent lyrical magic to amount to something truly special.
-
At the moment, though, it appears as though this is one twee-pop album that simply doesn't pop.
