What's a bit of extra money in your pocket eh? Especially when millions of lives and the future of the planet are at stake. I was always the first one to moan about that last Gravenhurst album - how it was over-rated etc etc. Well I could be made to eat my words with this new one, as it shows a marked improvement and shows why Warp were willing to stake their reputation on it. This shows up more of the dark folk Gravenhurst was purported to make. It's almost as if Radiohead had only ever listened to Nick Drake. I still think the fellers voice needs to drop a notch or two, but still, some lovely fluid guitar playing and a canny grasp of melody could make this a bedsit classic.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
