...according to our Phil on 15 November 2006.

Last week Monotreme sent me a copy of Shrill Falcons by RAL PARTHA VOGELBACHER. It's not a new album... in fact it came out about 6-8 months ago or something. I never heard it anyway... but now I have. Wow! This is like one of the best albums I've not heard in ages! After the first listen I was utterly hooked. The music is written by Thee More Shallows (or a guy from...) and you can really tell. At times you'd be hard pushed to think it wasn't a Thee More Shallows record.... But there are some noisier moments on there as well as pure alternative pop. It also features Odd Nosdam on drums well. (I can hear the cries of amazement from here...) For fans of Grandaddy, Thee More Shallows and that kind of sensitive yes intelligent music. Absolutely brilliant and had it not been months old it would get album of the week.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
