Any favourite tracks so far? Or are you not really feeling it?

Wow, didn't actually think I'd have this album on repeat. It's a gem, definitely.

I really like Fitzpleasure, apart from the singles. It shows that they worked on the songs for years...maybe they would need a really big hit song but I'll come back to the album anyway, I'm sure.

Why would they need s big hit for you to be more interested. That's a really weird thing to say.

Favorite track? Tesselate for sure. I love the cool, swag feeling of it.

Haven't heard of them until just now. All I can say is that the singer has one of the most annoying and retarded sounding voices I've ever heard. Dunno if I can get past that, or the fact that I'm not hearing anything exciting or refreshing at all.

Not for me, but I think a hit gives you an even bigger exposure. Outside people who follow regularly the music scene they're hardly known, and it's a shame.
(That's probably because I live in a country with no music culture so maybe it's different in UK or USA)

I worked my way around his voice, I like it now.

I could see how it would be annoying but honestly it flows in such a way that is quite delicious.

I discovered them on the local indie station a month or so ago, with the song "Something Good". I made a note and checked out the album, I was impressed from the get-go. The vocals can take a bit of getting used to, but I liked them right away. Someone recently said he sounded like Adam Sandler and unfortunately I'm reminded of him each time I listen to the album now. Sorry. Anyway I'm picky about vocals, but sometimes it's the weird ones that click.
