While the EP is on the short side, the four tracks are beautifully created and promise much for future recordings.

“Fool’s Gold” just gets my vote as top track. It’s probably the one which gets my grin to its dopiest level, the deciding factor. This is a song which is difficult not to get swept up in, with the floating harmonies being finished off nicely by a plucky guitar solo. “For you” is a little dreamier, with excellent use of the usually under-appreciated xylophone. A glockenspiel is also used in other tracks, how cheerful is that! Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
