Synth-pop with stellar songwriting. Dreamy and wry, cynical, a little sad. Easy to like on first listen and stands up to repeat plays. Future Bible Heroes=roughly 2/3rds Magnetic Fields + 1/3rd Chris Ewen, formerly of Figures on a Beach. This sounds like one of the better Magnetic Fields records. No FCC’s
