Distinguishing themselves from their Flying Nun peers through formal musical training, Graeme Downes infused this record with sophisticated shifts in tempo and dramatic horn and string sections. The result is a highly literate, structurally complex iteration of jangle pop marked by romantic frustration and nervous energy.
