This record move me to tears! absolutely GORGEOUS! my album of the year Review date: 16 November 2006
This record left Ben Keeler feeling ecstatic.
I agree with everything good said about this record. It is the most thought through record I have ever heard, and probably the best album of 2006. Everyone should own a copy, especially since now it's out on 4AD with the Lon Gisland EP (I needed it so much after hearing a few tracks that I ordered it straight from Ba Da Bing!). It can't be described easily in words, so I'll just TELL you to listen to it (or buy it purely from mine and other peoples recommendation) and make your own mind up - I am DEFINITE you will agree how amazingly perfect it is. For fans of A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Neutral Milk Hotel and charming Eastern European/Balkan beats. Review date: 22 December 2006
What we say
This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.
Lordy
it's good! Imagine Black Ox Orkestar crossed with Radiohead with a dash of
Leonard Cohen and some Eastern European Carnival music. It's fantastic. I can't
get the words across about how great all of us think this is. There's not many
occasions when we all love something but this is one of those rare things I've
just been implying doesn't happen very much. Incredibly the guy who makes this
music is only 19. I was shocked..... so accomplished and intelligent sounding
for a 19 year old. When I was 19 I still had to get help with toilet
things...... Anyway this isn't gonna be everyone's bag but if the above sound
interesting check it out cos it's well bum. Before David Byrne gets his hands on
him anyway....
