I am absolutely in love with this record. From the opening track with the alternative country guitar passages and the sweet chamber pop orchestration. This flows from track to track as lead singer Jesse Tabish takes us through the haunting, yet loving, story of two romantic lovers. I honestly have not seen the hype of this band in the past. They were always a second rate indie-folk band, but on their 2015 release they really homed in on their chamber popcraft, and on this one, they take a much more singer/songwriter direction and it pays off big time. My only flaw is sometimes the tracks don?t fit well together sonically. Especially in the middle of the album where guitar ballads and chamber orchestration go back and forth for five tracks.
