Phil Reynolds and the Dearly Departed - if my feet were fingers, i'd stab you in the eye

What can you say about an album that presents an irresistible slice of pop perfection like "Close as stars" next to the moody space rock of "Sweetheart"? Well you can say its brilliant as it is actually. Packed full of different influences and styles admittedly it is a record that meanders like the mid-point of a river, occasionally the song gets a bit stuck. An ox-bow lake then. Geography isn't it? That doesn't matter though as the flow of the album is strong and well worth a listen.
