What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

One of my favourite records of recent times was the debut Thee More Shallows album on Monotreme records. How good was it? Well a lot of you took a chance, bought it, and seemed to be more than happy with it as you should be. Imagine my delight when the 2nd album arrived here. Lordy me. There's not many bands who come back with a second album that's better than the first. I can't think of any off the top of my head. This is superb. I don't know if superb really sums it up. I am obsessed with this album..... If you think Grandaddy have gone off the boil then feck 'em off and check this out. This is the album Grandaddy never made. You really need this as its sparkling genius. More Deep Cuts is CD only

What the label says:

"More deep cuts" is the second album by the San Francisco band Thee more shallows. Their debut album received glowing reviews likening them to Yo la tengo, Grandaddy, Sparklehorse and Gsybe, yet lauding them for being more than the sum of their influences. TMS have continued to evolve their sound, combining their trademark technicolor-blue vocal melodies with an extensive range of sound collage. As toy pianos and french horns crash into strings and decay into orchestras warped and bent beyond recognition, the sensible, ultra-clear voice of Kesler provides a calm. It is precisely this juxtaposition of chaos and calm, abandon and resolve, which makes this so compelling.
