So, I’ve been listening to this album every night for the past week or so and I think it’s brilliant.

It’s perfectly soft and (surprise!) quiet, while still managing to sound extremely powerful. I love Erik Glambek Boe’s voice, it’s deep and resonant, without feeling forced or over done. The music is the perfect counterpoint to his sound, melancholy, wistful, but still catchy and pleasant to listen to. Indie Pop at its best.

Comparisons to Belle & Sebastian are probably inevitable, and the bands do share some of the influences and song structures, but really they sound nothing alike. For one thing Belle & Sebastian are 9 people and much more of a sonic attack then this album’s duo of guitars present.

The first three songs ‘Winning a Battle, Losing the War’, ‘Toxic Girl’, and ‘Singing Softly to Me’ are the best part of the album, and it does all sort of blend together by the end, but by that time I’m usually asleep anyway, so really, for me it’s a moot point.

I think this album rocks, I can’t wait to hear the others they have put out, and I would recommend anyone check this out.
