A lot of people got very excited about this cd when it came out last year and it topped a few critics and fans lists for 2008. I hadn't got around to hearing it yet so thought it was time. I've listened to a few of their earlier cds and although they were good i didn't really warm to them.
The opening track 'Halfway Home' is a great start to the cd with some doo wop background vocals. The cd has a buzzy electronic vibe with some understated funky beats, falsetto singing and great use of horns. It feels like a 60s soundtrack updated to modern times.
'Golden Age' and 'Shout me out' and 'Lovers Day' are standout tracks for me. I didn't enjoy 'Love Dog' and 'Stork & Owl' as much as the other songs.
It really does deserve all the praise it has received. A great cd with intelligent lyrics and a warm soulful feel to it.
