Beautiful indie folk with pristine arrangements from folk band Midlake. Without delving into the lyrics - official reason: I can't read; real reason: cbf - this is musically pleasing. The upbeat folk pop tunes are nice - you know what that adjective means: it's aight but kinda yawn - but it's on the midtempo, more bare-bone tracks that Grant's voice and the strings can truly shine. To me, this a record of moments: overall ok, with some brief but brilliant passages.
