I don't think I can rationally persuade you to like a piece of music so I'm not sure what the point would be in explaining what I like about it (if I can put it into words that is). But ok, my initial reaction was that it's just another faceless folk band. I think it was based on hearing Easier. Now I just love how huge (and/or orchestral?) yet mellow the entire album sounds. I think it's mostly achieved with a lot of low, deep, bass sounds and echoes of all sorts which makes it sound like it was recorded in some huge warehouse (or that it would fill it up nicely).
Veckatimest is slightly more energetic but more importantly, much more poppy (shorter songs, friendlier tunes) but still retains the mellow vibe. The production is also insanely perfectionist (I'm just listening to Cheerleader for example which seamlessly incorporates an angelic choir, there's loads of examples of sounds you discover on the 10th or 50th listen). Give it a go...:\
