I only heard half of this cd thanks to my main man Fantano but I think it was pretty interesting at some points

Good call imo. There have been a few British albums I've preferred over the past year but this was the strongest of those nominated.

Shockingly, Pitchfork hated them. And they're the king of loving pretentious, non -sensical indie pop. haha

Better than all the other nominees, dug The Maccabees release earlier this year but it got old pretty quick
