Absolutely gorgeous

(5 out of 5 stars)

"More folk than electronic (at least compared to Four Tet, etc.), this is all strummed and fingerpicked guitars with a little glitchy accent here or there, and occasional tape-loop voices from instructional records (reminiscent of The Books). The tranquil, mellow rural vibe here is all their own, though, with a Bert Jansch or Richard Thompson British folk influence that lends it a depth that other "folktronica" acts can't deliver. Lyrics are good, too, and actually an important part of the music vs. just another atmospheric element. If there's any criticism, it's a little uniform and some might find it too similar beginning to end, but I appreciate that they know they've got a mood they're trying to sustain throughout."
