Agreed. House and Home is a pretty interesting and original motive for a song; the idea of losing a home you never had the opportunity of living in. I also love the end of Shiver. One of the best moments of the album.

Yeah, so am I. I am slightly concerned that they'll head in a more radio-friendly, simplified, overly produced direction though; they're like halfway there already.

This is nice for sure. And the penultimate track is phenomenal. But the debut is has this awesome energy that this album is completely lacking. I hope their next album brings the energy back.

this is a criminally underrated record. their songwriting evolved past the classic post rock soft to loud shit on B&B in the best way

New track is pretty solid but they need desperately need to inject some energy back in to their music. Have you heard Acres - Lonely World by chance? Going back to this I immediately realized Acres pulled off everything I wished this album would be.
