  • Way better than I expected, but it's not like I had low expectations. "Thistledown" is a great pop song with Sam Owen's strained voice strongly redolent of Rosie's. "Wave of Translation" sounds like an early Oval track with trumpets. A lot of this – not to imply anything negative about the band's creativity – reminds me a lot of that late '90s/early '00s wave of trip hop or downtempo that took cues from space age revival lounge pop. Or perhaps some more laid-back strains of nu-jazz. Say, Alpha's The Impossible Thrill, Bonobo, Felt Mountain, Morcheeba, Broadcast, etc. I'm opposed to throwbacks without progression, but I feel this is not that. It feels like an even more eclectic continuation or "update" of their previous work. Overall, it's one of their better albums. "Thistledown", "Mayfly", "Wave of Translataion"
• Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles
