Really liking this album. It's funny, I wasn't that impressed when they were announced to headline, yet now they're one of my must sees and definitely one of the bands I'm most excited about seeing.

Had a couple listens and I'm really loving the percussion on this one. Doesn't match up to the Gulag Orkestar at all though yet, some of the songs are lacking something..

Have to say - having had them firmly on my "admire but don't enjoy" list the new album is definitely a much better listen for me. I find it immediately less contrived and more accessible.

But I wonder (and this is entirely unfair I realise) if it's not, in contrast, a bit slight.

It has given me a bit of a quandry because it has, I think, given me a much better idea of how I may enjoy them more live than The Flying Cup Club did.......

....but I am still intrigued by this Paper Cinema thing......decisions decisions

The paper cinema is amazing. Live paper cutout animation mixed with live soundtrack. If it didn't clashed with the headlines, I would be all over it like a rash.
