"Conor &amp; Eimer Devlin (no relation, originally Irish, but  relocated from these shores some years ago) form the core of this  three-piece. They’ve produced a beguiling album of sunburst guitar  melodies, sitting on a foundation of drone, with a thin gauze of hazy  suspense draped over it.

We’ve already spoken about the chiming single <em>National Runner</em> written about the Ethiopian long-distance athlete Miruts Yifter and it  shares something of his relentless drive. The widescreen feel of <em>Boats </em>is created with banks of ringing, Byrdsian guitars, which combine for a thrilling crescendo.

The beautiful <em>Sea Years </em>has Eimer’s hushed, low-in the-mix  vocal set against a driving bassline (reminiscient of Yo La Tengo a  little bit). There’s more than a shade of shoegaze about both <em>Sister Song </em>and <em>Little Good It Did You</em>, with fuzz smears and high-fretted bass. And I love <em>The Slow Track </em>with its ingenious uplift of trumpet, coming in the wake of a closet bossa nova. Enigmatic but approachable as anything."
