Superb Contemporary Art-Pop

"This is possibly Stuart Murdoch's finest production yet. I can hardly add to the superlatives awarded to this gem by other reviewers; even if you are not a Belle and Sebastian fan, you'll enjoy this if you like melodic pop with witty and moving lyrics. Brill Building, Girl Groups, 60s Brit-pop, 70s soul - are of these influences are present but meld into a unique and cohesive musical style. It was a joy to listen to this disc (literally, as I bought the vinyl, which is beautifully mastered and pressed). THIS is the type of writing Stephin Merrit should be doing instead of car commercials (sad)."
