The only reason I've ever mix-taped them is because I have a friend called Lloyd & it was a CD for him. I'm pretty sure I've never playlisted them because I always found/find them annoyingly smug at being quite the wrong side of wonky. You know, I struggle to find owt I like by them.

In many ways it was similar to the one I had yesterday. It did come out a little easier, there was less residual mess & I noticed a slightly cleaner finish. Overall, my original reaction to it was one of bemused relief + a strange mixture of functional satisfaction & fatigued regret. But, when I went back to take a better look at it, I quickly realised that it was just shit & not really worth my pondering about it. I had a poo this morning.

They seem to have made a bit of a mistake sticking all the upbeat tracks at the beginning and the end, but "Careless Love", "French Navy", "Honey in the Sun" and "Forest and Sands" are all bloody excellent.

It seems... alright though. It's pretty enough and all that, but it doesn't really have many moments that jump out and grab me. Lets get out of this country was a fantastic effort, and I don't think this will top it I saw them at the Barras the other night there and despite touring the new record the set was mostly LGOoTC. They played about 8 of its 10 songs... I’ve not listened to it enough to have formed a definitive opinion on it yet. It seems… alright though.
