London Grammar - Truth Is A Beautiful Thing

Pretty but insubstantial. You can see what they're going for, and the singer's voice is quite something, but the songs and arrangements are mostly too bland to get there (honourable exceptions: "Big Picture", the last couple of minutes of "Hell To The Liars" and "Bones of Ribbon" - the one whose early morning hearing led me to listen to the album - where they get something a bit more dynamic going; also, opener "Rooting For You").
