This album from the Montreal four-piece is a tour de force that spans experimental noise, cabaret guitar / piano pop, stripped down gospel, electronic creeks and loops, walls of noise and Beatles-like melodies; from the soaring gospel piano of "Luscious Life" to otherworldly Morricone meets Tom Waits apocalyptic dustbowl of "The Storm", there are no weak moments on this stunning album, (presented in a limited edition fold-out digipak picture sleeve).
