[...] proposition altogether. Instead of juggling a setup they are honing theirs. You may remember my review of their album This Mess We Keep Reshaping being a little bit ambivalent. On one hand I loved what I was hearing, but on another I’m not [...]

I would agree with you DC. Definitely a grower and I am loving it now.

Mr. T,

I have come back to this record & have to say I love it. I was drowned in the production for a while, but have adjusted my ears &, by crikey, it’s a corker.

Cheers for the heads up.

To be honest, Annuals haven’t grabbed me at all and I haven’t heard of the other two. I shall investigate, I certainly shall.

Mr. T.,

Good call. In my opinion they’re not brilliant, but they’re better than great.

Incidentaly, have you wrapped your sound sponge around the following “will be massive in ’08″ sorts?

Annuals, Bear Country, & Fire on Fire.

I’ve held off on each for about 6 months to allow the blogosphere to cool down & cease getting all giddy in their knickers about them.

I’m not 100% about Annuals (FAR too much unrequired widdly percussion & “look at us, we can rock” wig outs + the home recorded computer-gen production quality is a bit muggy so loses a lot of marks); LOVE Bear Country (just lovely stuff); undecided about Fire on Fire (there are so many clatter-folk jamboree troupes about I’m not sure I can be arsed with one more).

Ross, mate, they’re excellent. Don’t let my confusion unsettle you – they’re between good and brilliant, not between decent and okay. Really, a quality quality band.
