Come Stornaway! Float your pretty notes through the window of my seaside cottage as day turns gently to night! (And if that sounds over-romantic, well, that's what happens when you hear the words:‘I saw you blink/and I missed your eyes.’) 'I saw you blink' is the most commercial song on this album of jumbly, sweeping lays, but the eccentric, incidental touches meld this from listenable to marvellous. Notably: The energetic pianist thrashing away on 'Boats and Trains',the male voices shantifying on 'Zorbing' (which owes more than a tug of the forelock to Bon Iver)& the banjo on 'We are the Battery human'. The musicians will intermittently all bundle in for a good old group thump and it's those rich dollops of 'Everyone' emerging at unusual moments that have an oddly cheering effect. Brian Briggs sings earnestly, like a young boy performing for an audience of one. One he really cares about. And even if that sentence sounded cheesy, the effect doesn’t.
