Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from Scotland, the quintet's debut album is a masterpiece of literate, shimmering jangle pop. Anchored by the MTV hit 'Obscurity Knocks', the record's incredibly tight acoustic guitar interplay and Frank Reader's clever wordplay established them as critical darlings of the indie pop scene.
