I always thought that Nassau came after 'the s&c' but I guess I was wrong. The record isn't as clean as the previous release - it sounds grainier from Sam's vocals that echo in and out of songs to the instruments themselves that play with a certain sense of urgency and resolve. A welcome different sound from an always amazing band. "I Will Hold The Tea Bag" pretty much sums the record up.
