Jack River - Sugar Mountain

This is a strong album, with some particularly good moments ("Fool's Gold" and "Constellation Ball" are the best for mine), but it's a hard genre - broadly, dramatic alternativeish but essentially mainstream pop - to really stand out in; I often feel while listening to Sugar Mountain that Sia already did this, and overall a bit better. But maybe that's unfair - there's much to like here on its own merits.
