I wonder if they can keep this work rate up, six albums in practically as many years is some going. The challenge is keeping them diverse and interesting, which so far, they have. All aboard the Pattern-Seeking Animals express, next stop in about a year?
This album is one of those that gets better with every play. There will be more from this man, of that I have no doubt and I will be on the lookout for it.
These early steps on what should be a very promising journey for the band firmly states their intent to succeed. It’s a relatively short glimpse into what this band is about and hopefully there will be more to come soon.

Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.
