The second album from this band from Great Britain.
The band is a duo with the Davies brothers on bass, guitars, piano, keyboards and vocals.
A handful of guests are supplying drums, clarinet, saxophones and female vocals.
The 2009 album White Clouds was a good debut album. It was something to build on.
The band returned four years later with a bit of a change in style. The band is now somewhere between art rock and neo-prog. There is also a lot of singer/songwriter in their music.
The songs are, with one exception, pretty short and punchy. They are also pretty much piano, vocals and keyboards based.
The songs are pretty pedestrian and pastoral in their tempo.
The songs are not immediate good. This album takes some time to sink in. When this fifty minutes long albums sinks in, it is a somewhat rewarding experience.
It is still too much pedestrian and too much singer/songwriter like. Nevertheless, it is a good album but barely that.
