They were more a string of luscious sounds that somehow came to each other drifting high above an ocean. The very essence of modern progressive folk music, they were separated by the Atlantic, based in Texas and Lancashire respectively, but saw no barriers there. Their music was disparate but meant to be. Organics sealed by electronics over copper wire. But they inevitably solidified on stage eventually, gaining particular credence from performances at free-thinking festivals like The Big Chill and Bestival. The energy acquired from those touring experiences meant they could never go back to what they were and this has all resulted in the bold and very certain statement that is their second album. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a record made by a complete band, and a band unwilling to wait for distant elements to migrate, conjoin and germinate. This is a record that forges its connections more instantly and with much more certainty and that draws on the influences of red-eyed electro trolls Death In Vegas as much their Royksopp\/Neil Young hybrid, especially on the brooding, intoxicated 'Breaking Point'. The sense of evolution that defined their debut is still present however, the wonderful 'No Love In Your Heart' a kaleidoscope of bright tumbling ideas a la Lemon Jelly, and 'Gone For The Most Part' a creeping vine of mournful piano and lunar jazz. Still the stuff of daydreams, but making sure you wake up with a shiver now. --James Berry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53519602385270,"sku":"0825646388820","price":5.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12877782_19688479_20241209051215.jpg?v=1733768141","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0825646388820-earlies-the-enemy-chorus","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
