Not many people have heard of Days Away, which is a shame; they sound like Death Cab for Cutie meets Mae and hangs out with Sunny Day Real Estate. The album is really beautiful-sounding, you see; it has some nice rocking numbers (such as 'God and Mars'), but quite a few of the tracks are mid-tempo (the album does keep a nice pace throughout, however). The songs are varied in structure, yet they're all around the same length (every song excluding the first and last tracks are between 3:15 and 4:00). It never sounds boring, and the band incorporates some interesting sounds in their songs. The production is also top-notch, making sure each instrument is heard but does not drown out the singer (who, by the way, puts much emotion in his voice without sounding like he's trying too hard). This is a band I've tried really hard to get people into - hopefully this helps.

I'm actually suprised few have heard of this album, because I've had it and listened to it countless times for a few years. They really do have a pretty interesting sound, being charming, spacey, and energetic. And the singer was in Sound Of Animals Fighting, which is how I heard of them. Hopefully more people will check this out, because it rules.
