    Largely extraordinary... They write ornate and soaring conversational love songs, full of heart, bittersweet observation and unashamed street-level Englishness.

    There's something appealing about their brand of music with its light, sunny harmonies and direct choruses.

    Relentlessly bland and bourgeois, "Twelve Stops And Home" sounds like the product of focus-group analysis.
