Street of dreams
Makaki Music

The overall feel to this album is decidedly downcore. It would be perfect to play during the Saturday night/Sunday morning lull. A lot of these tracks could easily fit onto one of those late nineties, early noughties compilations encompassing the short-lived New Acoustic Movement genre. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, there's some beautiful orchestration on this record. The first single, a duet with Bernard Butler called "Love", wouldn't sound out of place on Suede's 1994 magna opus "Dog man star" – perhaps the record that kick-started the trend for indie bands to use orchestras in their work. A lot of the tracks on the record have a real yearning quality, which comes across in their lyrical content and spiritual mood. In short, if you're having a bad day, put on this record to elevate your mood.
