Not to be too dismissive or anything, but for me, all that really needs to be said about this ep is that it's latter-day Belle and Sebastian. A couple of songs from
The Life Pursuit - "The Blues Are Still Blue" and "Funny Little Frog" - and a handful of others; it's all quite tuneful and pleasant, and it's almost completely forgettable. Maybe in ten years' time I'll be able to come back and listen to all these now-recent B&S records and appreciate them a bit more - but it's not happening just now.
