The album is exactly what you'd expect from these guys. "Manners" brilliant collection of indie pop tunes in that certain indie style you get from having three people playing keyboards at the same time. There's definitely some awesome songs, "Little Secrets" is one of my favorites, and only one song, "Sleephead", made it from the EP to the LP. It seems to me that is has been re-produced in a subtly different way (if I'm imagining this, which is a distinct possibility, do tell me). There's a few more slower, more introspective songs, like "Swimming in the Flood", to contrast all their usual upbeat stuff you've come to expect.
One song I do not like, is "The Reeling", the single off the album. It sounds like something off the soundtrack to a movie in the 1980's. It just seems to be lacking in that originality that I love from these guys.
Head over to their Myspace page to hear some of the lovely tracks...
