Recorded over thirteen months and in five home studios, SET FREE is indeed an album worth waiting for. The brushed drums, electric piano, vibraphone and percussion that have defined their sound for years shine more brightly than ever. And beneath the mellow rhythms they've perfected over the last two records beat heartfelt songs about love, loss, crushes, crutches, curses and the other man. If you've never them, this is the record you've been waiting ten years for them to make.
Reviews:
Twas rumored they might be gone for good, but these sublime Texan indie-pop droners were just woodshedding. They spent 13 months coaxing a slightly more insistent buzz from their guitars and crafting a melodic ambience ideal for album #6, their debut for the Canadian label that gave the world Broken Social Scene.
