Bearing the characteristic warmth and depth of a Roundhead Studios recording, the 11-track release reveals a band as confident with the strident pop songs at the front end of the release as it is with the more pensive material that graces the back half.
And it's these later songs that shine, the harmony singing of Fraser and Naomi carrying the emotional weight of their tougher life experiences.
