It's alright but...
not nearly as good as Holes. Buy that first and cherry pick here.

I really love this record. It's one that's stuck with me over the last year. It's not as twee as B&S or as folky as Iron and Wine, and a little more melancholy and mature. At first pass it could be easily dismissable as just of the moment, but it really gets inside and lurks (in a good way). There some just gorgeous tones and sounds in this record, and the vocals just wash over you. It's a moody, lovely, listen. Favorites include "Snakes and Lions", "The Sun" and "Kling Klang Klock".
