I was at the launch show for this album and they blew me away - then I listened to the album and haven't really listened to much else at all in the last month! They just seem to keep leaving sceptics pleasantly surprised. I totally agree with the guy who also recced their EP, Lost In Landscapes - my favourite HRE track is from that.

It had a little more punch, and a little more catchiness IMO. Haven't quite gotten fully into this one yet, but I haven't listened to it more than a few times, so I'm sure it'll grow on me.
