So what if the first track sounds "coldplayish"(and I despise coldplay),it is still a thing of beauty,a piano driven ballad that sets us off onto a musical journey through a steady yet somehow varied trip through a delicate sounding work that is better heard as a whole.A female vocalist takes over most of the vocal duties after the short intro ballad,and her vocal interplay within the framework of this chamber pop/orchestral pop album works quite well.I honestly have only listened to this a couple times,but I am sure it will be listened to quite a lot over the next few months.The mood is more of an autumn record,or even winter,so surprised by the odd timing of summer release for this,but what do I know?
I am also surprised that is is on ninja tune,since correct me if I am wrong,but I thought Ninja Tune was a more electronic/dance/rap type label.
