Layered guitars, indie jamming with added strings & synths, and a renewed emotional urgency are the hallmarks of this rather grand record. Its a sort of US proggy pop with songs that are mainly quirky sweet ditties. Features Jellyfish founder Roger Manning on keys which simply has to be a good thing whenever you say it. Planting Seeds blasts off like a classic Neil Young track and is one of the best tracks on the album. Nice melody, chiming guitars and strong chorus. Things Fall Apart (another highlight) by contrast is a gorgeous ballad that builds to a mid section which finds room for both a trumpet and guitar. Splendid.
