    Knew it would divide opinion this one. It's definitely for a mellow state of mind.

    I love to put my acoustic guitar on and riff along to this whole LP. To me the choruses are simple and catchy and I look for vocal harmonies within my range.

    I know where people are coming from when they describe it as dull. It doesn't bang or crash or soar, but that's sort of the appeal for me. I've lots of music which does and this is where I go to for relief.

    Thanks for voting and for listening
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    Love this! A band I know I'm supposed to know better but never got to listening to!

    Now I'm kicking myself though, this is clearly the root of a whole bunch of stuff I love, Pavement, Belle and Sebastian to name just 2.

    Fabulous recording, amazing space and tone with songs that are laid back, catchy and clever (without needing to be bombastic)

    9/10
