Another five albums of crackly, low-fi bedroom rock would benefit no-one though, you're right, and would make them look a little lazy.

It's not the production in this case - this is far, far from over-produced - more the arrangements and the playing. It's gentler than previous stuff, is maybe more what I was trying to say, presumably by virtue of the whole album being played on acoustic guitar. Aye, that they certainly are.

Euan - I didn't intentionally post the two worst songs on the album, you know. This record is okay, but it lacks a bit of zip, to my ears.
