i'm on my first listen to this, and am already in love. folk-progish.
that's been on my 'to purchase' list for a long time.
picked up these:

I've listened to it a few times, and so far I feel it is overrated. Standout cuts are the first two, and old guitar. It isn't unlistenable, so I'll give it a few more spins. Maybe it's a grower.

Think later Mercury Rev, Spiritualized, etc. Well done instrumentally and production wise. They use a lot of instruments and in an understated way, unlike many orch pop acts who crescendo every chance they get. I should be all over this but unfortunately I feel the songwriting and hooks are a bit lacking, making for a bit of a dull listen for me.

This seems pretty well done so far, but I'm only four songs in.
