I think I've listened to this album more than most people, having heard it before it was mixed and so forth. But I find for me it tends to take a while for an album to sink in. And I think this is an album whose merits aren't necessarily immediately apparent. But it all came together like continents crashing, just today. That's always gratifying for me as a listener. I think it's the kind of album that gets better the more you listen to it.
And yes, I know it's a bit incestuous to go on the internet and celebrate the music of someone who's a friend and all. But I'm saying this as a fan, not as a friend. It's really, really good, original and moving. Hats off, Ro. And the rest of the guys, whose playing is fantastic.
It's hard to pick out my favourite as they're all quickly becoming my favourite songs, but I think Ox In An Open Door is fantastic, as is Restring the Bow. The Cost of a House, however, is amazing, as is My Prayer For Egret. I wish I could say in what way but it would be better just to let you find that out yourselves.
Buy it.
