Really sophisticated pop

"I haven't heard anything about this album other than what I've heard in my own head, and I don't know why. This is the perfect bright spring or summer day album. The songs are beautiful, with nice horn arrangements and a great laid-back feel. This is an album for fans of Belle and Sebastian's lazier moments, the Kingsbury Manx with a heavy dose of Spring, the Essex Green with less essex and more green, basically anyone who loves happy (but certainly not too happy) and pretty (but not annoyingly pretty) pop. This album offers an unparalleled sense of nostalgia on the most beautiful of spring days. As a self-proclaimed music geek, I highly recommend."
