After a long hiatus, the band is back with a stunning new release. Skillfully produced again by Hugh Jones (Echo & The Bunnymen, Dumptruck), this record is the perfect mix of both sides of the band's sound. By this I mean that fans of the more brooding early 4AD material will be pleased, as well as fans looking for new pop gems. "It's OK" kicks things off with some cool guitar riffing to bring the noise up a notch. "Blister" has the sheen of early post-punk guitar in the chorus that is really satisfying for listen after listen as lead singer Robbie Grey sings "you put me in armor/you blister my paint." The title track is a more keyboard based tune, but the groove behind it will keep your interest. "Deep Sea Diver" is my favorite song on this one, with introspective acoustic guitar from Steven Walker. This is an innovative record that is a must for any music fan that is looking for true diversity from song to song. Catch the band on tour as well, since besides the 2 members mentioned above, 3 other original members have signed on for the tour
