Better than the first, I thought. First album was a real drag to listen to all the way through.

The first album was amazing but the new one is even better.

Great band. They must be absolutely loaded from their royalties by now as they are used in so many tv adverts and programes.

I bought it today and I agree it is excellent. I wasn't sure what to expect after the first but it is better IMO

listening to the first now, straight after the second. Although they sound as if they're very similar, they're not, if you know what I mean. the first is much more atmospheric, more 'songs' on the second one...

I'm drunk

Listened to it last week but couldn't into it. Felt too samey for my liking. First album was kooky but cool.

Always like this little set:

Yeah, really is another great record - so simple but so space filling. Make sure you have a listen to the live session they are doing with TE BBC Philharmonic orchestra on Wednesday evening. Can imagine that will be a bit good!

Me too, listening to the second now, prefer the 1st, its all a bit samey. Maybe 9am sunday morning with a quoissant and coffee isnt a good time? Ill give it another go later.

Its on spotify BTW if yo wanted to listen before purchase.

They are amazing live, and best listened to at the other end of the day, and doing other stuff organic 😉
