I'd never given them too much time before (I'll be fixing that now, like) but this album has grabbed me completely. There's about 6 absolutely gorgeous tracks which play in a row in the album (tracks 2-7). The other songs are really good too, but in my opinion at least, the very best all play after each other, so the core of the album makes for a really engaging listen that flows well and keeps you hooked. They use some violins, trumpets and trombones in some parts too, to fantastic effect. Makes me think of Arcade fire actually, in that respect; mixing in less traditional instruments to expand the scope of their sound.
I'll stop rattling on anyway! I hope you enjoy it as much as me. And I hope I haven't over-hyped it!! =S
