In my review of the album I noted that listening to Hazel Wilde's voice was the closest thing I've ever come to being actually sung a lullaby by an angel. It really is that good, isn't it? And not a single bad track. Just proves sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover...

Yeah that band name kind of made me want to check them out. But also the fact that they're signed to Bella Union, the same label as Beach House, Fleet Foxes and The Low Anthem among many others, so I was expecting some good indie-folk and they lived up to my expectations.
They don't really sound like an English band, which kind of makes them unique in a way as there's not too many bands in England that sound like them. When you listen to them you'd imagine them to come from the same regional scene as Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses or something. I think there's some room for improvement though, that's why I'm looking forward to future releases.
