Their third album is full of wobbly charm as it showcases the sextet’s lively — though at times unwieldy — genre-blurring. Certainly, there are flickers of wonderment on offer; the dynamic atmospheric swirl of Fly East, the Afro-flecked harmonies of All Night, and The Moondog’s euphoric, melodic psychedelia.
However, the momentum is frittered away with a raft of New-Age musings rife with rictus sweetness, which become too earnest.
