"It's awash with gentle, naive bliss, and if you're the type that likes to observe hooks blossoming with the pace of an actual flower opening, then you might have just found a new favourite band." - NME
/// Hacienda

Summer: when things often go from good to excellent and people’s sense of their own aliveness peaks. Tracks spring out into daylight like a recuperated kid after two weeks of bed rest, its boogie-woogie and “OH-oh, OH-oh, WHOA-oh!s” sporting confidence and resoluteness.
There’s a clear desire for new energy here, and they’ve found it welcoming the panoply of ideas that came forth. As a result, their sets are an embarrassment of riches. Scores of countermelodies are assimilated into the overall tableaus, enhancing their musicality without distracting from their main ideas. (Credit the sound quality for this, too; its fuzzy texture blurs the lines between individual instruments and leaves a singular entity in their place.)
File alongside Grizzly Bear, Caribou, Yeasayer, Animal Collective.

Like Panda / Grizzly Bear. Sort of from Sheffield, pretending to be from Leeds. It's Ben (Blood Oranges / Benjamin David & The Goliaths) new solo venture. It's good.
