If this was the only CD you had on a deserted island you'd think it was a masterpiece of delicately woven melodies and cascading harmonies. To a very large extent it is a masterpiece, just not right now. This album suffers from the most unfair prejudices. For example, I had just made a flier using the same font in which the band's name appears - to me that made it seem like it was less special. The fact that Sub Pop was putting it out and all the comparisons to the Shins made it feel like one big marketing scheme. But in reality this is a great album that I am just not entirely ready for right now, but I'll come back to it.
