It's a truly terrific album from a group I must admit I'd given up on.

Yeah. Best since Elephant Shoe.

It's the most joyful thing i think they've recorded.

Not much competition! The second half is wonderfully, dourly optimistic and Middleton has dveloped into a gorgeous guitarist.

each of their albums has been better than the last for me (well, maybe the last one wasn't much better than the Red Thread but the first tracj is my favorite song of theirs) so this bodes well, I didn't even know it was coming out.

awjea! Another 'Shy Retirer' on this one and I'll be okay with it.

October 10 in the UK. It's not on any American/Canadian schedules yet.

isn't the cover a bit like the virgin suicides artwork?
