The album sleeve causes eye cancer, but as expected, they've released another awesome set of music.

THAT'S WHAT I DID TODAYYYYYYY

My favorite is probably "The Gift That Keeps Giving."

The production on the album is so cool. It sounds like a lost album from the '60s.

Post by: Error Macro on June 29, 2007, 02:12:00 AM: Yeah, the production on this is great. I wasn't expecting that sound - "Run-Away" threw me for a loop, though I guess "The Gateway Song" should have obviously clued me in that things were going to be different :lol

So far, I'm really really liking "Run-Away" and "Battersea Odyssey" ... those are my definitely my favorites. But I'm digging the album as a whole.

Post by: enjoy bell woods on June 29, 2007, 02:13:57 AM: "Battersea Odyssey" has such a weird sound. The vocals are so detached and floaty. The album as a whole is perfectly psychedelic and so concise. It isn't even 40 minutes long.

Glad you like it!

Title: Re: Album of the year leaked yesterday
Post by: enjoy bell woods on June 29, 2007, 08:51:56 PM: August 28th or so. That's the UK release. I'm not sure if they're aiming for a worldwide date, but they're on Rough Trade now so it might take a while longer to get it here.

I know I'm a huge SFA fanboy and my opinion is not to be trusted, but this is just a solid, fun, easygoing album. It's a marked improvement over Love Kraft, which I consider their worst album.

It's great to hear that you seem to be enjoying it as much as me, Error Macro.

Whimsical British pop with a sense of humor, but also random serious streaks.
