Posted June 11, 2011 The first track blew my brains out with no remorse. I've not listened to it all since I plan to buy, but I liked what I heard. Different to For Emma, Forever Ago but you love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 11, 2011 Another one of those artists I found through Chuck and didn't realise he already had an album out (actually hadn't checked, just...lazy), yet alone another coming out. Anyway I liked it. Listened to it once so far. Think it will be good for tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Second album is such a good follow up. I loved the first but worried that his (/their?) second wouldn't be different and interesting enough. But the synthy stuff certainly works well enough / adds enough. Missed out on buying tickets to see live, boo. Point for discussion: many bands use place names, particularly in the US for song titles or album titles (calgary, preth, minnesota, off Bon Iver, for example) yet I can barely think of any British bands who name songs after places in the country. It's a shame! Edited June 12, 2011 by dan-likes-trees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 12, 2011 The only thing I know about this guy is that he got his name from a Northern Exposure episode, and that makes him cool in my book. Northern Exposure was cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
