Where that Scottish band tempers \r\nits twee-ness with clever, winking wordplay, Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe \r\nare more akin to a latter-day Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkel or a couple of Nick Drakes who \r\nare lucky to have found each other.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDisarmingly sensitive, poetic tracks such as \"Parallel Lines\" (\"What's the \r\nimmaterial substance that envelops two\/That one perceives as hunger and the \r\nother as food\") are sung by the duo in honeyed harmonies with a pleasantly \r\nlaid-back delivery. Oye and Boe eschew drums on all but two tracks (upbeat \r\nhighlights \"Toxic Girl\" and \"Failure\"), simply using layered guitars and the \r\noccasional string, piano, or trumpet flourish to accent the hushed power of \r\ntheir songs. The overall effect is one of bedroom introspection, well suited to \r\ntheir nostalgic, inward-looking lyrics. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
